Good Deal On Starting Battery

[Duckslayer100]

Swung through Menards in Moorhead and they had this little number on sale for $50 after a $10 mail-in-rebate. They were on display right by the registers. Sale lasts through April 14, I believe. I'm heading back to pick one up tonight so I can verify, if anyone is interested.

I think their deep cycle marine batteries were $70 last year too. Not sure of the quality.

Exide is very good quality. We sell them at my work for tractors.

Good to know. I wasn't sure, either, but it's just a starting battery so I wasn't all that concerned. Thanks!

As long as you don't plan to run your electronics off it and it is only for starting it is probably a good deal, starting batteries seem to not last that long when used for deep cycle purpose, multi purpose or a true deep cycle is best for running graphs and starting.

And your motor starts with M or Y. If it starts with E - your charging system is far superior and if make any type of short run you have your battery up to full power / you can buy what you want.

Does that apply to motors that start with J, too?

please explain how the evinrudes charging system is superior

For comparison's sake, I just put a new $114 interstate starting battery in my boat last week.

I was kind of pressed for time so I will chalk the extra $60 up to the cost of getting back on the water and #$%^&>.

To satisfy some folks, here's a deal at Mendard's on a marine Exide dual-purpose battery: https://www.menards.com/main/tools-...430136039-c-9100.htm?tid=-3810838583541145122

Only $60 after rebate. Still ain't bad! I think I'm-a gettin' this one. Oh, and the sale goes through April 16, apparently.
