Marine Batteries - Which brand is best?

[John from Madison CT]

Hi Guys, <br /><br /> I want to start the season off with a new battery since the one I have seems tired.<br /><br /> Anyone have any input on which brand is best. I want a Group 24 dual start and deep cycle.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />John

The best battery is what you can afford... Maintain it properly and it should last you two to three years...., maybe more...

This month's Trailer Boats Magazine covers batteries - types, sizes, brands, etc. I'm getting ready to buy a new one myself and found this article to be very informative. Their website (http://www.trailerboats.com) doesn't have the article yet but probably will in a few days. Hope this helps.

I agree with Novacane. Interstate is the best deal going with the best availability and warranty. I run 4 boats, 2 pwc's, 2 atv's, 2 Jeeps, and a big Truck and all have interstate. I have 1 battery 6 years old(megatron). Skeeterbuilt is right too. Always take care of your battery and it will take care of you.
