Hey RM, Wal Mart Batteries are made by Johnson Controls, I've had real good luck with them, just replaced all of my Exide 31's with Trojan Golf Cart batteries, Exide 31's have 115 amp hour capacity, these Trojan's have 150 amp hour capacity but they are taller than the 31's a little more than 10" tall. A person really needs to be sure they will fit where he needs to put them, I thought I had all kinds of room in my Stratos, but these taller batteries just barely fit. One of my boats will only hold a group 27, anything bigger and can't close the lid. Once I started trolling crank baits for 10 hours a day it was too much for 3 31's and I drained them down too much and they died early, 2 years. That's why I went as big as I had room for, so maybe not to deep cycle them too far and shorten the life.
