I had an unsealed deep cycle battery tip inside my boat last year causing battery acid to go everywhere. I swore I'd never have that issue again so I bought 2 Cabelas brand sealed AGM deep cycle batteries. Fortunately they happen to go on sale when I needed them and I got them for around $100 I believe.
Now I need a new marine starting battery and only want to go sealed. I can't find any from Cabelas. I have a 2014 Stratus VLO with a 2014 Evinrude 115 horse Etec. How many cold cranking amps do I need?
What is the best value sealed (maintenance free) marine starting battery out there?
I'm hoping to find something in the $100 price range if that is realistic/possible. I see Lowe's carry's Deka sealed marine starting batteries for $107 with 800 cold cranking amps. I do get 10% off at Lowe's being a military veteran, so there's that, if that is a good choice.
