Any deals or rebates out there for deep cycles?

Does Sam's ever put their AGMs on sale?

Not as cheap as Sam's Club, but Napa makes a really good battery their group 31's are around $120. Just in case you are not a member of Sam's Club. The $99 deal at Sam's is a really good deal though for Group 31's.

From what I've read NAPA and Sam's Duracell (among others) are made by same outfit East Penn in USA and have good reviews. Club prices much better. Gonna have bosslady take me to Sam's since I'm not a member, but this will certainly lead to more expenditures I'm afraid.

I'm planning on getting me some new batteries soon myself and I was going to get the 31's from Sam's myself and then I got to looking at the AGM's but can't decide if there worth the extra money or if they would last any longer while pulling cranks.

I am not sure how much better the AGM might be, but last year I could run my new regular wet cell batteries (24 volt system) pulling cranks at anywhere from 1.2 - 2 MPH for 8 hours, using heading sensor, cruise control and all and still have 25% batteries remaining using an 80 Lb Terrova on a pretty heavy 18 ft boat. I am about to enter year two of the batteries on the 24V system, so it might fade some, but I am hoping it will still get me 6-8 hours at pretty good speeds. I would say that if you can AGM's for very little extra to do it, but if they are a lot higher, I think you would be fine using a quality wet cell battery. I am not very savvy on AGM batteries, but if you hear of them being a ton better, I would love to hear details. Good luck on your search!

My last set of wet cell batterys lasted 7 years....usually I only get 5 years. But I have a MinnKota 330d on board charger I keep it plugged up 24/7 when I am not fishing and I check my batterys and top off the water twice a year.

7 years is incredible, wish we could all duplicate that!

I put these on last year. So far so good. My batteries aren’t mounted level so I had to do something different.
