Needing new marine batteries

[Nitro2014]

Academy sports has a good deal on a dual purpose battery right now.  On sale for $75.  I bought it for $90 about a month ago.  There is also a $5-$10 rebate on it.  http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/exide-stowaway-dual-purpose-marine-battery#repChildCatid=785504. There is also a smaller sized starting battery on sale for around $55 and a bigger deep cycle for around $80.  Good luck!

Yes, good point.  I would offer my two cents, but haven't had the battery long enough to offer any advice other than the price is pretty good when comparing to similar batteries.

A battery will only last a short time on it's own...

You have to PM the batteries to get the max life out of them..

As I said before I use Wally-World batteries and I always get 6-7 years form them BUT,

I check and refill the fluid level as needed at lease twice a year and clean/tighten the terminals as needed...

And the MOST importantly,  I NEVER leave them in a partially discharge state over night !!!!

The first thing I do, after unhooking the boat is plug in the battery charger... The Worst thing for a battery is to set in a less than full charge..
