Boat batters

[GAR]

I'm sure this has been hashed over before!! But I need to buy three new batters for my boat, two for trolling motor, and one for the main motor, and gauges, what size, want the best batter for the buck, there a lot folks on here that really know there stuff, Thanks for the help. GAR

I just bought 2 series 27 Stowaway brand deep cycles at Sam's Club for $49 each, seemed like a good deal. There starting batteries seemed reasonable too.

I like the ever start from wal-mart and if you ever have a problem you are never to far from a store.

Ditto on that Northlander about Interstate Batteries.
Everything I own ends up with them installed.
Well my kids "stereo" needs require OPTIMA
but we wont go there

I have used Interstate batteries for my 24 volt motor and their cranking battery for the starter. All 3 have worked great, low maintenance, and reliable. They back up their claims!

I am a savvy shopper for fishing equipment but on this issue i would recommend not necessarily going for the "best deal" out there either. Saving $5-10 might end up causing a headache down the road when the juice is running low! Just a thought on where not to skimp!

I'll be shopping for a new deep cycle battery this spring and am wondering where the Interstate batteries that have been recommended are sold.

Thanks,

I would suggest Trojan batteries. You can get them at Batteries plus. They cost a little more, but when I compared the ratings and stuff last year between brands, that's what I went with, and I'm pretty stingy with my doe.

I like my Exide and have also had real good luck with Interstates. Interstate backs what they sell!

Thanks guy's looks like interstate, has the most votes, but if anybody else has some input please do!!! GAR

I have the same opinion as most of the posts above, Interstate is the way to go. I have three of them and never have had a problem with them. There Customer Service is exceptional too with any of the questions that I had. Good Fishing.
