I see Keyes is pimpin Odyssey batteries... anyone else have a hard time believing they really could fish 4 full days in "strong winds" and then fish another lake and not charge them at all..? maybe they slipped/drifted many of the spots but 4 days? the price tag on those will scare 99.5% of guys away from them at $375 per battery...ouch!
Funny you mention that. After doing a TON of research on this when I last bought batteries, I learned there are actually only a relatively small number of battery manufacturers. There's a lot of re-labeling going on with same or very, very similar batteries.
The Sears Die-Hard Platinum Marine 31 series are actually built by Odyssey. They are almost exactly the same battery, very slight difference, but that label means you can buy the Sears (on sale) for around $200. That's what I run, have been very happy with them so far.
If you really wanted absolute, top-of-the-line AGMs and money was no object I'd get something like http://www.lifelinebatteries.com/ but for what I do, there's no way I can justify that kind of cost. |
