Jigpoleed, the pro guide batteries are made at the same plant as trojan batteries. I think that there is a little price difference and warranty difference. Trojan is like the name brand and pro guide is the generic, I have ran the pro guides as well from conway tire and battery, they are a fine battery, nothing wrong with them at all, mine lasted for four years of fishing bass tournaments every weekend and fishing weekly. I just figured if the pro guide lasted four years I would try the trojans, and see how long they lasted. five years and counting now, and just as strong as they were the day I bought them. they are super heavy compaired to all of the competitors batteries, this is due to all the extra plates that the trojan and pro guide have. but that is the reason the life span and charge duration is so good. When I tournament bass fish, my trolling motor is on its highest setting from the start of the tournament to the end and these batteries have never failed me. MY OPINION PRO GUIDE AND TROJAN ARE THE ONLY BATTERIES MADE FOR SERIOUS FISHERMAN.
