ANY 1 KNOW which brand of battery is best? mostly for lake , minn kota 30 used for. 

I see some marine battery is around 60$ in craglist are the trustable?

It is so easy to damage a battery. for example .... keep it on cement floor and you are done in a moth or two. Saying that i would not trust any
 used battery from CL. Specially with the price like 60.00. Also avoid Canadian Tyre  Nautilus type battery. i had a couple over the years and they don't last. Try costco maybe.

Costco all the way. Inexpensive, good quality and an unbeatable return policy for peace of mind. I didn't find my Nautilus (CDN Tire) to be very good, so I personally would steer clear of them.

No . Go buy a new marine battery and a charger.

you don't need a "marine" battery. Just get a Group 27 or 29 Deep Cycle and your good to go. Trolled all day with my group 27 using my 55lb thrust pushing my 1436 boat

Went to Costco a month ago to exchange my deep cycle because I ran into issues with holding the charge .They said they didn't carry them anymore (Langley Costco ) . They did a search for other Costco's in the lower mainland and found the one location in Coquitlam ? that had a couple left . I ended going to Wallmart . So far so good .

what brand and type of deep cycle battery is good and inexpensive in cosco or walmart. Will lorco carry it and is the price the same?I only use it on a minn kota 30 and use in a small lake. And do i need to buy a battery box to prevent water splash onto the battery for safty or i can just hook up a battery without a box.

Thank you

Costco marine batteries are seasonal. I picked up the last one couple of weeks ago from the downtown location for $89. I think they said they will bring it back for spring season. i have the same motor and it lasted a little over a day and still had some juice left. i think they're good batteries and great return policy if anything goes wrong.

I already recommended him this battery on a diff thread. Now go and buy one.  No point risking buying a used battery. Might save a few bucks but might also strand you out on a lake.
Dont worry about leaving the battery on cement, battery case materials nowadays are fine. Charge it everymonth or so when not in use and youll be golden.
