Optima's work well and cost a few bucks less. I suppose these have the advantage of fitting standard battery boxes a bit better. Sears has a solid battery line so I wouldn't worry too much. No first-hand experience with this specific battery though.

I'd compare warranty for warranty. I have good luck with optima's both racing and boating, but if you leave either one discharged or overcharge them they are done; so it comes down to who has the best warranty.

Will they overcharge on a shorepower plug ?Or is that regulated

I'm probably going to purchase one from Sears. I've also looked at West Marine's AGM batteries. The Sears AGM marine batteries are less expensive then West Marine's. I'm not sure who manufactures Sears batteries but West Marines are made by East Penn and their one of the best battery manufactures.

if your charger charges both batteries at the same time the possibility exists. For the winter months I use a separate battery tender for each battery.

There are only two or three major battery manufacturers that make batteries for everybody. I have an Exide AGM battery in my daily driver with a three-year free replacement. I had to replace it right before the warranty ran out. (Lucky me!). Plenty of power and fits great.

so Ed, what kind of battery powered devices were you using too often?-Jeff

Go with Deka Marine Batteries, they are the best in the business and made in the USA, not China, like the other manufactures of Batteries. Sears Die Hard Batteries are sold by Johnson Controls, who buy all their Batteries from China, as do most battery companies.

I'm an Optima believer. It's been awhile but I think their warranty is 3yr free replacement with another 2yr prorated... but double check.

kjm5125 03-19-2008 07:21 PM

I believe East Penn makes Deka batteries. West Marine carries batteries manufactured by East Penn.
