Fleet Farm AGM deep cycle, more bang for your buck and they last for ever.
There are only 2 or 3 companies that make all the batteries. They are pretty much all made the same. It’s how you maintain them that’s important.
WRONG!!!!! It is correct that there is only a half dozen major manufactures of batteries. But being made the same is way off. Did you ever stop to think why two batteries that look nearly identical with two different names could cost 10, 15, 20,…. or more difference? Because one is made to be cheaper than the other – PERIOD. They don’t just put a different sticker on them for branding under different names.
Too bad batteries weren’t made with clear plastic so you could see the difference in the thickness of the plates. Bottom line is if your comparing two comparable batteries; buy the one that weighs the most. You want the thicker/heavier plates to endure the draw/recharge cycle. Whimpy plates = whimpy batteries.
Also, companies like Sears, Farm/Fleet, Duralast,….all bid out their specs with different manufactures. So depending on who made that battery for that batch can make a difference.
