Trojan Agm Battery ??????

[MDBowHunter]

I ran into what I think is a deal and I'm hoping someone here will have some knowledge about Trojan Batteries. I can get Trojan AGM Overdrives for $85 a piece brand new with a late 2014 born on date. I'm thinking about picking a couple up for my bow mount. The two I'm using now are good but probably 4 or 5 years old, so how much longer are these really gonna last. I thinking I should just jump on the deal, but I have no experience with Trojan batteries. So the question is are they any good or junk??? Thanks in advance for the input...

Lead Acid batteries cost more than that, sounds like a good deal.

I am in the commercial janitorial business where we use battery operated floor scrubbers for continuous hours at a time. I was constantly replacing batteries until I switched to Trojan. They handle the cycling better than others I've tried and typically last twice as long as the others. They retail in my area for $140.00 so your deal is a good one. Trojan is all I use in my boats now.

Glad to read that Trojan makes batteries, too.

 

Sounds like a good deal.

 

Get them and let us know how they perform.

 

I would not expect them to "fail"!!!

They are a deep cycle battery company.  When I was looking for a battery for my yak to be very powerful and reliable this is the company I was going with.  The only other major company would be interstate.  For the price I think it may be a bang up deal.  Born on date does not mean a huge amount as batteries live in number of cycles.  The life will directly depend on if you have a powerful enough charger.

a friend of mine was the local Minnkota dealer and service guy, he swears by the Trojan over others
