Unaware Epoch Batteries was moving to dealer only sales I purchased a 24v230a battery, charger, and mounting brackets through the website. I’m hopeful this won’t be an issue if I have any issues/warranty work. Shipping was timely but my order arrived without the mounting brackets though they showed as shipped and received. Contacted Epoch and they sent replacement brackets I’ve not received yet but have shipping confirmation. In the meantime I fabricated brackets and installed the brackets, battery, charger, and battery meter in my boat. The charger cord at 48” was 2’ short of what I needed for my install so I spliced in 24” per the local Epoch dealers recommendation. Battery was about 25% charged upon receipt and I don’t know how long the charger was working but the battery was 100% the following morning. First trip out today and ran my 24v Minnkota Terrova for 6 1/2 hours trolling in a 19 .5’ aluminum boat. Didn’t use the gas trolling motor at all - just the electric. Just about dead calm half the day and then choppy the rest - so minor amperage draw half the time the other half heavier draw. I think I might have bought more battery than I need as I had 75% capacity left when I finished up after trolling non-stop for 6 1/2 hours! Sure like the simplicity of a single battery for trolling motor power. This battery is huge and heavy so either buy the brackets or fab some up. My old lead acid batteries were strapped down and that worked fine but I do like the peace of mind of this battery being bolted down. Great product and unbelievable performance.
