I just bought 2 Farm and Fleet deep cycles this morning. $64 bucks a piece. I was looking at the Optima's just for pricing comparisons. They were 3 times the money for approximately the same size battery. Can't justify that for batteries. The set of batteries, also F & F, I replaced were still from the original owner and were 4 years old. Those were the 24's . I did up to the 29's and expect to get 3-4 years out of them as well. Even if I have to replace them after 2 or 3 years, I'm still money ahead.

I did check Wally's and their Everstarts were 64. Farm and Fleet matched the price (originally 69) so I bought from F&F instead. I'd much rather give them the money that Wally's. Anyway, after talking with a couple different people, I found the batteries (F&F and Everstart) are made by the same company...Johnson Control.
