Best place to buy Marine battery

[Daryk Campbell Sr]

Ellis Battery in Arnold, Jeffco, has blemished batteries for less expense than non blemished.   I'm told the only difference is the packaging, the usefulness is the exact same. 

 I've bashed my head over and over about batteries and value.  I read it somewhere that we spend $x.xx on lures, $xx.xx on equipment, $xxx.xx-$x,xxx.xx on motors and more on boats.  What is the problem with around a hundred for a battery that will make or break your day to use all of the other equipment? 

I  now just buy a battery from a reputable seller, keep it for about 3 years, replace.   I dont want my day ruined by a battery.

I used a blem from Ellis for many years and it kept a good charge.  They quit selling them around here.  Ellis has been bought out now by someone else using their name.  Don't know about the quality or the price.  My Father was friends with the guy that started it many years ago.
