Platinum Diehard are Great batteries. High amp hour. You can run your trolling motor all day on them. Pretty pricey and heavy are the only two drawbacks.
I have a buddy who won't run anything but Sear's batteries because of the 3 year warranty. Walk in with the bad battery, walk out with a new one.

Have Interstate now, are the Sears batteries really that much heavier? Like the three year warranty part for sure!!!
God Bless

Over the past 30 years old bass fishing, I have tried many different brands and switched to Sears three years ago. I run three Diehard marine batteries for my TM and one Sears Platnum 31 series as my main battery.
They are heavy, especially the Platnum. The first Platnum I bought only lasted about 8 months but Sears replaced it free without any hassle. Since then, no issues with the replacement. Very powerful battery.
The Diehard deep cycles have been trouble free so far. I just took them all in two weeks to be tested and all tested fine.
Based on my experience, I would rate them amount the top brands.

Sears PM1 and 3 Die Hard 31 last 3 years, no problems.
Great battery! Had one in my old boat for starting, electronics AND my third (36V TM) trolling motor battery. Never had a problem in the two years I owned it. Sold the boat (to a buddy) 6 months ago and is still going strong.
As soon as they go on sale, I'll replace the starting/electronics battery in my new to me 2012 BassCat with one.

Sears PM1 AGM 31 - 1150 CCA 205 RC - 3 year warranty, best battery on the market if you do not mind the weight 75lbs.
