Just curious about my 24 volt set up for my new kota do u need two identical batteries or can I use a 130amp battery and a 100amp battery ?
Thanks in advance

It is certainly recommended to use batteries that are of exactly the same amps.

+1. And even the same brand if you can. It will work but the discharge/charge rates will vary and usually resilts in reduced life of one or both batteries. You could get away with it in the short term if you had to.
