Duracell Deep Cycle Batteries anyone use them?

[Fisherman45]

I was going to go out and get some new Interstate deep cycles for my pd70 Minn Kota and saw these Duracell deep cycles at Batteries plus. The prices are pretty much the same but the Duracell has a $10 mail in rebate going on now. Anyone use them?

The last set of interstates lasted from  4/10/2011 to 11/17/2016 before one on the batteries shorted out so 5.5 years for 89.00 per battery

 

I don't want to go agm type I have heard good and bad on those and don't want to shell out $300+ per battery just to get an extra 10-25% expected life.

 

Thanks for those who share any of their experiences.

I have not used the Duracell but have used Energizer. Needless to say I am back to Interstate and won't go away from them again. For the $10 mail in rebate difference I would still go with Energizer.
