    For $200, gonna be lead acid battery. You could get away with a Sam's Club Duracell AGM group 32 of you have 1 near you but it's on the lower end of specs.

    Check out that Napa battery everybody raves about.

    I would never waste my money on a wet cell. Agm or lithium no other option. Wetcells can leak and explode. I've seen both happen. Plus the best you will get out of one is 3 to 4 years.

    If you have a Mercury Opti or newer 4 stroke, go with a 31 Northstar/X2 or Odyssey if going AGM. The Deka/Duracell only meets minimum requirements and is not a recommended choice by Don Weed, the Mercury expert on BBC.

    +1 for the Duracell AGM group 31, I've have my current ones into their 7th year and still very strong, just keep them charged, mine are always on my onboard charger when I'm not fishing, at $180 each at Sam's they're the best deal in AGM batteries

    I use the NAPA above for the motor, graph, livewell ect. And the Sams AGM for my trolling motor. Both are great.
    Be advised that AGM is not recommended for use with some outboards though alot of people have no problems doing so.
