I consider those batteries a quick fix, but I've found they don't last but 2 to 3 years. The last battery I bought was an Interstate because I heard good things about them and will be replacing my trolling motor batteries soon with Interstate as well. $115 for the starting battery.

They are pretty much all the same these days. I bought the walmart MAXX 29's. My last set lasted 6 years.

Just make sure you by a group 27 or 29. A lot of people but a smaller battery and it puts a strain on them. I am running all 29. Even on starting battery.

Walmart batteries seem to last longer and also hold a charge well. The last time I bought some I looked into reveiws on several batteries and found most were pleased with the proformance of the Walmart brand. Thats what I have now and I am also please with them. I had Interstate before and was dissappointed. Also make sure you check the mfg date on the battery.

seems like some batteries, no matter the brand, just last longer than others....

Use group 31's for your trolling motor batterys....lot more run time

I recently purchased the cabela agm 27's to replace the exide 27's that came with my boat. Don't know how long they will last, but don't pull as well as I hoped. I have had good luck in the past with exide, interstate and walmart brands. Just wanted to try no maintenance type. Plus they were on sale $229 down to$125. Good luck.
