T-1275. I am not concerned with weight, they are over 80lbs each but you can not drain them in 2 days of fishing in high wind. Love them. Found them for $181 a piece at this place. Picking up two on Sat... Continental Battery MASTER DISTRIBUTOR 2800 W. 6th Street Ft. Worth, Texas 76107

Buy Academy or Walmart and buy new every 2 years. They wont even last two years. No problem here. Been doing that awhile. Lots and lots of use as well. Keep them charged and filled to the correct level with distilled water. I used to buy the really expensive ones. This has been working well the last six years.

Dan's luck with batteries seems about 3 months at a time. Interstate Batteries I bought in the springtime in Zapata are already shot. They lasted 6 months...

Find someone you know that works for York or Johnson Controls, they can buy them at cost. I paid $410.00 for the 4 in my boat, they shipped UPS directly to my doorstep.
