I just had to replace my walmart marine cranking battery. less than 2 years old and was shot. just outside the warranty period. replaced it with a napa marine cranking battery. i'm sure every brand has their lemons.
The decades of crappy motors, batteries, and 12V systems I used in the 70s and 80s have my brain permanently mired in a "conserve batteries all the time" mode.
Even if I'm out for three hours I find myself using the big motor to conserve battery under various situations.
I need an intervention. ;:;banghead
This is probably been hashed over a million times on this site I'm sorry... I was looking at oreillys batteries and they have a super start marine group... I have a 18' fiberglass boat with a 24v 75lb thrust minnkota w/ipiolt ... And have a helix 7g2n di and helix 5 g2.
Here are the two I'm looking at..

I agree. Interstate batteries suck balls in my experience. Have had the walmart type for years now and no problems. Seems like the interstate ones lose fluid somehow. I guess every one gets lemons too!
Allen,
Two Sam's Club's Duracell lead-acid group 31s fit in my 2001 Lund Fisherman 1700. They were on sale for 79.99 each.

Best batteries I ever had were Trojans. Very scarce around here.
