I sell tons of TM batteries, and maintenance IS the key. All of the name brands work good. I like the Deka, but that is a Ford/Chevy kinda thing.
i have had good service from ac-delco , but i think the key to any battery is keeping them charged and up keep on them then i think any brand could be the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

We only sell the Best. Ranger, Xpress, Yamaha, Suzuki, Tohatsu.
This info from cat fan is about as perfect and adequate answer for the reoccuring question of "Which battery to buy" as I have ever seen....
I feel this single post would make a good "sticky" for anyone looking for help in purchasing new batteries....
Would anyone else agree...??

I like Delco Voyagers. But like already said. Charge immediately after every use. You can't go wrong with an on-board charger. Did you every wonder who makes your favorie battery? Battery Manufacturers and Brand Names List
Fair Winds and Following Seas
Bill H. PTC USN Ret
Chesapeake, Va
That's a good list, but it's well out of date. It still shows Delphi as a manufacturer, and they sold out 5 years ago. The current version is Battery Manufacturers and Brand Names List
Catfan is just showing off - using all that real information and data and stuff like that.
I recommend Trojan 1st. The trouble is the cost. I bet if you calc'd cents per amp of service, you'd prolly find that the Wally speshuls outperform everything out there though, but I'm more interested in a good quality battery that will provide a few more than just a couple of years of service. That said, I cheaped out and went with a parts house battery because I was outfitting my current boat top to bottom and was short on funds at the time. If I had my good looks and Cane Pole's money, I'd go with the Trojans every time. But for now, I'm stuck with being pretty and having off brand batts.

A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

I just repalced a pair of BassPro deep cycle batteries that lasted me 7 years and like the rest said maintence is the key! I repalced all 3 batts inthe boat 2 weeks ago and went with AutoZone Duralast batteries due to the 3 year warranty. I had a walmart and it die just after a year and only had a year warranty. I check my batts every month on water level using only distilled water and always give them a full charge once i get home from the lake.

Okay, now that is weird. I looked at your link at work and saw the Delphi listing. It had 7 or 8 products listed under Delphi. Checked the one at BatteryFAQ, which is the source of the list, and it had the "See Johnson Controls" comment. But at home they are the same. I'll check again tomorrow.
