Location: Contrarian Island | from my experience it seems like wet cell batteries for the most part last on avg half the years as AGMs... many of my friends have had lots of issues with batteries going bad/dead on trips etc.. every case it was a wet cell... nobody i know has had issues w AGMs.. so for me, it comes down to piece of mind.. when i go on a 8 to 12 hr drive from home to fish for a few days or a week the last thing I want is battery issues... if i can get 5-7 yrs out of a set of AGMs but might cost 2 x as much, and have zero maintenance, never having to worry about checking fluid levels etc that to me is worth it... now i'm sure there are guys on here that have had great luck w standard wet cell.. i've used AGMs since 2007 and won't buy another type
My last set of Trojan AGMs i put in my Ranger in the summer of 2007... I finally figured after 7 seasons w an average of 500 hrs per season on water it was time to replace them even tho they still had good life to them....I sold them on c list for 50 for the pair..
