Trolling motor batteries

I'm looking for some insight. I have a 70# minnkota riptide 24v, on an old heavy fiberglass boat.
I'm looking at lead acid or maybe gel batteries. Also considering size/weight vs capacity.
Group 27?
Group 29?
Group 31?

Bigger is usually better when it comes to batteries. There is always using 4 x 6 volts to up some storage as well

I'm running 3 Group 27's in my 21' bass boat. Went with the Duracell's from Sams. Hard to beat that deal, imo.

I have tried both gel and lead batteries, I have found the single most important step in lifespan is to keep them plugged into an automatic charger ALL the time when not in use.
Doing this I am on year 4 with my current lead core batteries. Hard for me to justify the gel batteries again if constant charge gets that much out of them.
On the actual battery group go big or go home never wished I had a smaller battery on a trolling motor ever!

I have some del star group 27s from there and they are on year 4-5. Would buy again for sure.

Bigger is better but I run 27's with no problems.

I'm on my second set of these. First set got 4 years. This set is on year 3. I charged them before I put it up this fall and got my boat out of the barn last weekend. Plugged the charger in and they went from red to green in a couple of hours. Fished two days in a row and they seem to be doing their thing.
I think they were about $90 a piece including tax.
Btw OP, I also have a 70 lbs 24v Minn Kota.

I like Del star batteries sold at wholesale battery off Monterey Drive right across the rail road tracks if coming from Choctaw on the left.
Cheap, on avg last me around 5 to 6 yrs, and really never had any issues with them.

I run 31. Sealed from ABC auto, $125. I just bought one as one of mine went down, it was five years old. I have a 3 bank charger and unless they are sealed it will cook your
