j.bruno Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Save yourself some money. Go to wally world and pick up a everstart deep cycle. I think i paid around $80 for it 4 years ago. Still going strong and we use it ALOT. The thing has probably been recharged 300x. Never died on us. Quote
Rich_F Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 In my opinion batteries are like Ford vs Chevy.. I am a large fan of the Optima batteries. I have had nothing but good luck myself with them. I have seen Optimas last one year and other Optimas last 7... The same goes for other brands..What Group size battery are you looking for? Quote
