I too put mine on the charger as soon as I back it back into the garage... But mostly because I am heading out first thing in the a.m. Lol.... It's just too easy no to do it

What ever ones you choose, look at the date they were made, some set on the shelf for a while and if they do then it may have a affect

Sears Platinum. Expensive, but my last one lasted 6 years.

My optima blue tops never let me down , but I know interstate makes some good batteries so either way I think u would be good .

Trojans are hard to beat if you can afford them

I would stick with interstate or Continental but wouldn't have another Never Start battery in my boat. Several years ago I had Never Start a cranking battery went bad in 6 weeks took it back and got another. Was fishing a tournament and had a good limit went to start the motor nothing after I got a jump I was late for weigh in. They weighed my fish just for the heck of it and I would have won the tournament. I took the battery back to Swilmart and wanted my money back they wanted to give me a new battery we had quite an argument but finally I got a refund went down the street and bought Interstate never a problem for 4 years now run Continental and no problems

Another fan of the everstarts from wal-mart. I had my last set 6 years. Going on 3 years with this set. They last all day and cost much less than anything else being discussed here. About a third the cost of an optima blue top.

I would stick with the InterStates

Bass pro agm batteries made by dekka. I just replaced one it was 8 years old. They hold their charge very well. They are heavy and expensive, but if you buy the group 27 you will not run them down.

exide is bankrupt now.
wally world uses johnson control batteries, they also make optima.

I have run wally worlds for a lot of yrs and the main thing is how you treat them, set I have now is over 3 yrs old and goin strong.
charge as soon as possible after use, make sure to leave on a trickle charge when fully charged (any digital charger will do this), check water level at least 2 times a month and top off with distilled water.

if you check on who johnson control makes batteries for I think it will surprise you at all the brands they do. I hauled them 31,000# at a time and talked to some of the techs at the company in ft wayne indiana, all are pretty much the same just a different name on it, very few have different make up inside.

walmart when they go bad there is a walmart close by. i went to cooper lake had bad starting battery bought one from all pro auto supply 6 mounth later the battery went bad during that time o'relly bought all pro out. o'relly wouldnt honar the receipt called 1-800 number on the battery told me they would exchange but i had to drive from boyd tx to north dallas over 50 miles to exchange. battery co. was nationwide

Trojan is a good battery. I had mine for four years & they were still good when I changed them out.

I've been happy with the Everstart Maxx batteries from Wally World. They are reasonable in price with a good warranty.

You got 5 years with the interstate.. why change..

BTW..I got 6 years with a set of interstate.. were still going, but getting slow on windy day after 8 hrs or so..
