Why buy a battery because there is "no hassle" if it goes bad. I have found the most reliable and longest lasting battery to be INTERSTATE.
Key to any battery is the maintenance. Always recharge when you get back from a trip. Do not let it sit for a few days before you recharge.
I know, asking what battery to buy is like asking what reel to buy or what car to buy...many answers.
I bought "Cheap" batteries for a long time, but decided to spend a few extra bucks some years ago and get two quality batteries. One for cranking and one for trolling motor.
Wow! That is a manly battery! 443 minutes RC. Do you know what it weighs? Remember what it cost?Quote:

They weigh 105 pounds each. You'll have to shop around to find a tray to fit and they are taller than other batteries, so you'll have to watch your clearances.Quote:
