    I thought I was going to be pulling cranks and wanted to have the ones with the highest reserve since I drive 300 miles round trip and wanted to be able to fish all day. Probably go with some cheaper group 31's when I replace these since pulling cranks won't be in my future.

    Have them load tested at an auto parts store. the voltage may show good without a load but drop to much when u load them up.

    Handi, CatFan is pretty sharp on batteries, don't know if you read this, but might be worthwhile

    I had read that thread a while back but that was a good refresher. Catfan knows batteries like BigH does Little Debbie's. I'm going cheap with a good warranty on the next set. More to come tomorrow after I get them load tested.

    If you have to get one make it two or the new one will only be as strong as the old one.
