affordable deep cycle

depends what group size think they start at 120 and go up to 175 for the group 31 big boy.

True but for some reason I got side tracked on a cranking battery and I was thinking about the group 31 that a lot of people use. You are correct they have smaller size batteries cheaper than $175...the OP has yet to say what he is looking for. A cranking or trolling battery. Buy the statement of him looking for two batteries I bet he is looking for trolling batteries and if that is the case then smaller group size batteries you pointed out will be within his budget.

Looks like 845 amps to me.

Correct but Marine Cranking amps...in order to get 800 Cold Cranking amps it will need to be around 1000 Marine cranking amps. Sorry I did not specify what amp rating I was talking about in my original reply.

Better yet. Download the Wal-mart app and scan your receipt. Always have it. By the way Ratl go check your receipt. See if it is readable. You have to make a copy of it if you want it to last. Kind of like disappearing ink. Lol

The everstarts these days are serialized and they scan them at purchase. Last one I needed to replace they didn't even ask for the receipt, they just scanned the barcode on the battery.

I have always had my best luck with interstate, have tried others but always came back to interstate.

You are the only one I've ever heard say anything good about Interstate for 25 years.

new batteries at walmart are not made by johnson controls. they switched to lower output and cheaper exide batteries!!1

If this is true, who are the Wal Mart Everstart batteries being made by now?

exide like rural king batteries now

Everstarts 29's it is. thanks everybody!! Colorado river "lake Mohave" 70's tomorrow. Can't wait!!

I sure do miss that river. Use to fish it all the time in the 80ties and it had plenty of bass. Even fished it out of a 12 ft. jon boat with a 2 hp johnson motor. Ramp I used was on a dirt road back then.

Everstart Maxx 29's cheap money and a decent battery and like everyone else stated Walmarts are everywhere ,if there is a problem for return

Looking at Oreillys they have a 27DCM (deep cycle marine)

and a 27MS (marine starting)

https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b...y/27ms/4742402

specs on the “starting” battery seem better across board for a trolling motor battery or am I wrong?

This.

[znate80]

Interstate is junk now. Don’t make em like they used to

[Lx545]

Get the maxx and pay $10 more for another year of warranty over the $89 everstart. Only deep cycle Ive seen with a two year warranty.

Yep.

[RANGER487]

I've run Everstart group 27's for many years. No problem, but easy to exchange at any Walmart if a problem occurs.

Bingo I have some over 3 years old still running good

Not true around here. They are made by East Penn here.

this has my vote. I’m running everstarts on my jon boat are 6yrs old and never had an issue. Cheap, reliable, and long lasting. Not sure you could ask for better. I had interstates but was replacing them every year or so
