deep cycle batteries

Well I was in need of one, today! The place I had been buying from was closed, so I started researching brands, And started calling around, well I found a battery with a complete 2 year warranty, every thing else I looked at had 1 year warranty, so I bought one, A/C delco, Hope it will hold up. Been using interstate batteries, the last one only last 2 years, using a onboard charger, you know how dealers are, they want you to buy there battery, it's the best, but he said I would get more than 2 years out of this one, and the price was better than the interstate battery, interstate was 110.00 for 27 series, this was a 29 series at 102.00, Any body got any good or bad news about this battery? I guess I'll know in 2 years. This battery is used once or twice a week year around. This fishing cost $$$$$$$!

i been buying interstates at Academy and have never gotten 2 years. They have a 1 year plus 1 more prorated but must return to dealer not Academy I was told . :mad:

I've got one in the tracker its 3yrs old never a problem mine is a 29 plate also I've got no complaint

I had a set of 29's Walmart brand lasted 4 years, fished every weekend. Replaced them with interstate, just been a year now do I hope they hold up!!

I have bought mine at Wally world since I owned the boat new in 2000. I have only bought 4. The factory battery lasted 2 years. Yall do the math. :)

Oh, and I am on my SECOND cranking battery, also from Wally world.

FYI, Minkota recommends replacing batteries at about 18 months (for the auto pilots at least)

My interstate batteries have lasted so far for 4 years with no problems.

Nothing wrong with the A/C Delco battery. Don't know if they are still made by the same people as they once were. Used them in big trucks for years and they held up better than anything else we used. Never had any luck with interstate. Been buying Wally World last couple of years and they have held up fine.

Have had a refurbished gel battery ($50) for going on 4 years , no problems still going strong.

I didn't even know that AC Delco made a deep cycle battery.

Best warranty out there. We'll see.

I think my Excide 31 's have a 3 year free replacement. But I could be wrong on that. I've got 4 of them, 2 years old so far so good. Used Walmart 29 's before I got the bigger ones and had tall good luck with them. I bet you'll be happy with A/C Delco.

I usually get 3 years from Wal Mart batteries but the main reason I buy them there is because sometimes they go bad while still under warranty and there is always a Wal Mart around. I have had to replace a battery twice while camping at Dardanelle.
