    Opinions on best AGM batteries?

    In the market, and looking for ideas. Looking for max reserve capacity on a group 24. Highest I've found is 140. Has to be a dual purpose battery.

    Northstar is a good one, I think their 24 is around 160 reserve. Is there any possibility of moving up a group size? You could probably get closed to 200 then.
    Good warranty and strong battery with the Northstar if you’re looking at the AGM

    Why a group 24. Get a group 31 it’s the biggest and best. Northstar. oddessy. X2 Power. 220 RC.

    Boxes will only fit 24's. I have 31's for my trolling motor. These are house batteries, but my boat is pretty electrinics heavy, so I need a good reserve capacity. Ill check out Northstar.

    You will have a difficult time finding a 24 series AGM with a higher RC than the Northstar/X2. Very good quality battery. Be sure your charger is capable of charging it properly.

    Think I'm probably going to go with the northstar. On-board charger is a gen2 noco genius. They are AGM compatible IIRC. Will have to double check on that. Thanks for the input guys!

    Get the Rolls group 24 S12 3 year warranty if you dischard it to 50% you have 1500 recharges, good luck finding any AGM even close. This is a regular acid battery probably the finest made , google it, look at the specs it blows away any battery made and have a average life span 7-11 years.
