| i usually buy the ones at Walmart. They are made by Johnson controls from what i remember. Same people that make alot of other brands. I had a set last 5+ years when i did my part charging them after use. Taking care of them or any battery is what is going to make them last. I saw no need to spend additional money on a "name brand". I had a trojan in the mix with my Walmarts and it lasted the same amount of time until they all had to be replaced. It wasn't as if it was a better battery. |

| I get mine from farm and fleet. I'm not sure if they are around you but I got the group size 27 and they were like $65 a piece. |

Location: Lake "y" cause lake"x" got over fished | Thanks, I've been looking at Walmart online a little, thats probably where I will end up going. I will take a look at the fleet farm by my house and see what they have. Thanks for the insight. |

Location: syracuse indiana | i have had walmarts go 5 years and thats good use on them.. the thing is the newer one you can add distilled water to them and the right way to do that is to charge the battery fully then fill with distilled water to just under the fill lid. leaving room for bubbling so you dont boil it out. then charge battery fully again and just check the water every once in a while if you are a average fisherman |
