    looks like I maybe jumping from a 24v system to a 36v system soon. I’ll be starting out with 3 new batteries and was wondering which ones hold up and last the longest.

    I like OPTIMA’s. Have also had good luck with Everstarts.

    Interstate and the Maxx at Walmart are the two that seem to always dominate these posts.

    It seems the Interstate’s quality is a little better, but the convience of Walmart makes a return/exchange easy.

    I don’t think you can go wrong either way.

    Optima’s are just too much money for me lol but there are benefits to them, not spillable, and they are really light compared to anything else. I have the everstarts I’ve been happy with them, they certainly do weigh a ton.

    Interstate hands down. They’ll outlast them all.

    I have a 10 year old AC Delco group 27. Not enough water in it to keep the green eye afloat anymore but it checks out good. Its on its last legs I have 10 years on it.
    Voyagers are hard to find now days.
    If the Delcos now are made like they were 10 years ago thats the brand I`d go with. This brand is hard to find in my area.

    Interstates for me to, Everstarts always leave me stranded… My first was a Die Hard and mine had 10 years on it to when I replaced it, think Dad used it for things for another 5 before it finaly gave up….

    They had some at the Woodbury Gander last time I was there. Worth a call to check.

    I could be wrong, but I thought I saw some on a rack at Everts at one time. Maybe drop Deano a PM.
