Location: Chicago, Beverly | I'd avoid trojan brand personally. mine barely lasted a year, though it was not a AGM battery, just regular lead acid [scs200](lasted just long enough to get out of warranty).. Maybe the AGM's are much better.
I also have a orbital by exide, basically the same as a Optima.. Have had good luck with that one. The Minn Kota batteries are made by Trojan according to their website: http://www.trojan-battery.com/Products/Marine.aspx If you do go with the trojan, get the 31-agm as its the biggest, I think its 190 reserve? For Optima and orbital also go with the largest, I know Optima has a 31 size, not sure what biggest is for Orbital. Minn Kota would be MK 31 AGM. For some reason the optimas and orbitals with the spiral cel technology do not have as much reserve power as you can get from a AGM type battery. But do weigh much less. If you have a 24v suystem that it will be used for look at the optima trollfury line..
