Batteries ?31MDC, Exide Nautilus Marine Deep Cycle Battery not trying to beat a horse
Below is a link to a page that list these. It is not the place I'll be buying. I can get these for about $115.00 each. Looking to replace the interstate 27's I have. they are at least 5 years old.
Would there be a reason to not use one as a cranking battery? All my electronics and livewells are hooked up the the cranking battery so I do not want to run it down. The current Interstate 27 is a Deep Cycle used as a cranking battery with no issues. Based on the specs it sounds like a great deal. Menard's can special order them so they should be new and if I time it right I might get an additional 11% off. Also these will be going into a 98 BassCat Sabre with a Merc 150EFI. The 27's are a pretty tight fit. Is there a big difference in footprint? I want to stay with a flooded battery.
So anyone ever used them??
Here are the specs:
| Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) @ 0°F |
725 |
| Marine Cranking Amps (MCA) @ 32°F |
900 |
| Reserve Capacity Minutes @ 25A |
205 |
| Amp Hours (20 Hr Rate) |
115 |
The weight is as at least 70 pounds
