last line ^^^ replace that subpar battery with another one then. I'm telling you after 260 days of use on an x2 31 agm there is more power at 0* F to start my motor than interstate batteries have when used 2 times in 70*F...
I don't hate interstate batteries, I use them on my trolling motor and they are normally fine. But you have not had a good battery yet so don't say you have

Actually picked up my new boat today, opened the back and to my surprise it had a North star 31AGM.
I assume that is an improvement?
100% it is an improvement.

Little update on my interstate agm. Had the boat in for service and cabelas bit tech said the battery was great and I left a switch on that was draining it. I said, “oh wow, what switch”. And of course they himmed and hawed about it haha, all they checked was voltage I’m guessing. I just dropped the battery off at interstate for a deep cycle test.
I’m running livescope with a 12, and a helix 10 and 9. Pretty good about putting sonar on standby and run around quite a bit. Battery doesn’t make it half a day before i have to jump start from my trollers.

But then again giving you a new one may make you happy enough to stay with them in flute future, idk, what I do know is interstate batteries are made with recycled lead, not saying it doesn't work, but the batteries plus x2 agm is made with virgin lead. Just saying.

Not this time. I went to a different location, was fixin to tell the lady that they didn't know what they were doing at the first location, then she says "I recognize you"...lol. It was fully charged when she checked it, then did a load test, it immediately failed, gave me a new right after that. Hopefully now my graphs won't turn off everytime I start the boat. They would do fine the first month I owned the boat but its slowly gotten worse. Boat is only 7 months old.
Finally heard back from interstate. Battery failed deep cycle test, new one coming in tomorrow. Apparently they changed models recently on their 31 agm batteries too.
