I've had good luck with the Duracell batteries from Batteries Plus, they areGroup 31's. Got 3 seasons out of them.

I just bought 3 of these, but group 27's. They have a 30 month no hassle warranty too. Hoping for the best!

I chose Walmart/Duracell because the question was what is the most popular not what is the best. I think the best is Trojan 225. I had a set in my old boat. Great batteries but VERY pricey.

I have tried em all and have come back to Wal Mart simply for one thing. I know if I have one go bad, there is always a Wal Mart close by. If I can get 2 years out of a $100 battery, I will take that everyday. I keep the receipts in the boat glove box.

Duracell are made by Penn East which is Deka. Just ordered 2. We will see how good they are.

I will never own another Interstate. My new Ranger came with Interstate AMG's. 11 months old and the cranking battery won't start the boat if I stop and fish for a while with the graphs on. Local Interstate dealer said that the battery still tests "within the parameters" as good and said Ranger built the boat wrong. Scumbags.

Two 105 amp hour academy exides for trolling for $90 each after $10 rebate. So far so good but only 1 year in.

Cranking battery is interstate.

Walmart EverStart Maxx for me. I had a 29 Series go out this weekend. I had it for 21 months and Walmart replaced it with a brand new one yesterday for me at no cost. It went out on me Friday and just figured it didn't get charged. Should have gone in Friday evening to Walmart. Tournament day, no crank. Switched big motor over and fished all day. I got lucky.

Blue top size 34M Optimas on my trolling motor are starting their 7th year and still last all day. They are getting weak, they used to be good for the weekend.

Anybody used the X2 Power battery from batteries plus? Just had a optima blue top go out. I was looking into getting another one when a salesmen told me they quit carrying them because there made in Mexico now. The X2 power looks to have better specs also.

I am trying out Cabela's Advanced Angler AGMs. Got them on sale and had gift cards that got them to a price point where I thought it would be good to try them out. One year with them so far....no issues.

My cranking battery finally gave up the ghost on this last charge. Manufactures sticker said 2008. I guess I got my moneys worth out of that one. It was a Walmart Everstart Maxx 29. I also use them for my TM. I get about 3 years out of them on my TM.
