I have been using interstate lately and happy. You could not give me Optimas, had trouble with every one I tried. They seem to have a sketchy following people either love 'em or hate 'em . . . . .

Interstate is my second choice on batteries and I am in the camp of Optima's suck just strange that its the same company maybe its the spiral wound whatever it is....
The batteries I run are Northstar I run them because I'm scared of not starting on the water and have to be towed even though I have a Honda portable for extended times on the water there are plenty of times I roll without the generator on board. Northstar has the military contract and the batteries take a beating in those vehicles. Yep they cost more probably the most expensive on the market but for what you spend on everything else on your boat another $60 a battery seems cheap to me. I use the 34M but they have them all http://www.northstarbattery.com/nort...ne/marinrv.php http://buy.northstarbattery.com/p/ns...-battery?pp=24 |
Costco's batteries under the Kirkland brand are made by Interstate. Obviously cannot say they are identical to those branded Interstate but mine have lasted.

Edit in: Get the same exact interstates you have, they sell several different models within the same size. |

I initially had good luck with the interstates, 27M-XHD, starting batteries, the originals lasted 3+ years so I replaced them with the same and one that I bought 10/2013 just died this past weekend, only 1 year warranty on them.
From now on I am buying these 3 yr free replacement, made by Odyssey for Sears. Same battery as the Odyssey. http://www.sears.com/diehard-platinu...1&blockType=G1 |
