If you see a battery deal?

Please pass it on, I’m looking to replace (3)29 series trolling and (1)starting battery. I’m in Mpls.

How fussy are you about brand? Are you looking only for one or two brands or does pretty much anything go?

I’ve gotten excellent prices out of Sam’s Club on deep cycle and starting batts. But the thing is that they only carry a couple of brands. I’ve had thier Energizer brand deep cycle batteries and they have all lasted at least 5 years. The brand sounds lame, but I took a look at where they were made and while they don’t come out and say it, you can draw your own conclusions about what the “real” brand of this battery is. There are only so many battery makers in the USA.

They can order a lot of batteries as well, so be sure to ask not just about what they carry in stock.

Exide batteries are made in USA. You can get the group 27 deep cycles at Menards for less than $60 each on sale. I’ve always had good luck with the Fleet Farm store brand batteries, both AGM and wet cell.

If your rig needs new batteries this spring, Give the guy’s at Skeeter Boat Center a call and eliminate replacing yours every few years with Odyssey Trolling Thunder. The PC-2150 and PC-1500 are the “UPGRADE” option on all of the Skeeter’s at the boat center and here’s why.

Marine Battery Benefits

Consistent Power
ODYSSEY® batteries maintain consistently high voltage over a long cycle life.

Fast Recovery
ODYSSEY® batteries recharge faster and more
fully than conventional marine batteries.

Long Cycle Life
ODYSSEY® batteries routinely deliver up to
400 deep cycle (80%) discharges.

Longer service life
Forget replacing batteries every year. With 3-10 years of service life, ODYSSEY® batteries save consumers time, money, and aggravation.

Longer cycle life
70% longer cycle life compared to conventional deep cycle batteries — up to 400 cycles at 80% depth of discharge — high stable voltage for longer periods of time.

Longer shelf life
Can be stored on open circuit (nothing connected to the terminals) without the need for recharging up to 2 years or 12.00V, whichever occurs first.

Faster recharge
The highest recharge efficiency of any sealed lead battery on the market — capable of 100% recharge in 4 – 6 hours.

Mounting flexibility
Non-spillable design — can be mounted on any side in any position except inverted. Takes up less space in the boat than competitors.

Vibration resistance
Design protects against high impact shock and mechanical vibration — a common cause of premature battery failure.

Extreme temperature tolerant
Operating temperatures from -40°C (-40°F) to 80°C (176ºF) for the 34M-PC1500 and 31M-PC2150. No need to winterize this unit — leave it in the boat!

Totally maintenance free
No need to add water, ever!

Improved safety
US Department of Transportation classified as a ‘non-spillable’ battery. No acid spills, no escaping gases. Drycell design with resealable venting system.

Superior to spirals
Compressed flat plates eliminate wasted space — 15% more plate surface area and up to 40% more reserve capacity than popular “six-pack” AGM batteries.

Better warranty
Limited 3- and 4-year full replacement warranty — not pro rated.

See ya on the water, unless your batteries are shot…
