Trojan SC 225 is a great battery I used them for years and got my last set from Gander Mt. I had one go South on me and they would not take it back or help me out in any way. I called the factory and they told me they had a bad batch and they would replace it. Just drive to there wearhouse on the Houston ship chanel. "I dont think so" I now run The Stowaway 205's from Academy. (Academy will make good on there batteries.) I run the duel purpose Optima for a cranking battery they are lighter and maintenance free. I have had no problems with the stowaways or Optimas.

Sears Platium Marine Batteries have been the "Best" I have ever seen for long lasting power.

Yes,
I need help in this area as well. My batteries are about 3 years old and yesterday i went out and they worked fine for the first 2 hours. Then they went south. The Wind picked up and I could not keep up against the current. I needed an anchor yesterday to stay in one spot i finally found fish in.
So Interstate, Optima, Stowaway 205's or Trojan SCS225 or SCS200--would all be a good choice? how do you determine how good they are? Nevermind i read more and found that--i needed to look at RC on the Battery 180-205 looks good.
Interesting--i need two more batteries for myself and I wanted to get the best.
I do have one last question--i have a 2 bank charger made by guest --its the 2611a charger. It seems to have 3 stages of charging. When i do get my new batteries do i just leave them plugged in all the time and have them stay in the "float" Stage of charging?
I am all ears here...
