Just wanted your approval as it appeared to be just a higher capacity of the same battery

Just be sure to read the Napa Commercial Battery warranty carefully, at most, you get 6mos free replacement for the 7234, 7235, 7236 plus another 6mos "pro-rated". All three fall under the "all other" category in the "Limited Warranty Policy Explanation" which you can see and read here - https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NBE7234#

When I started gathering data, I intended to include warranty information. It was so confusing and contradictory that I finally just gave up trying to keep it straight.Stand corrected, I missed the "and".
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
Not to mention warranties and part numbers change. I'm usually very thorough with my research but still human...

Will a minn kota MK330D 10 amp charger be okay for a group 31 batteries plus x2 agm battery?
IMHO... this probably is not a good setup.

With the Die Hard PM1 no longer available, what would be the next choice for a cranking battery? I have a 300xs and graphs and pumps. I have checked the list on page one and it seems the Vmax XCA31-1400 would be a good choice other than local availability. There is a Walmart, Oreilies and AutoZone where I live. I have a friend that sells interstate/Optima and I can order on line for the recommended batteries. Would like to get something ordered or picked up.
There is a Batteries Plus in Las Cruces where you can get the X2 Power 31.
Small world department, I had a cousin who was a priest for a long time in Truth or Consequences.

I’ve had good luck with and can recommend the Northstar 31 series AGM. It has more reserve capacity than the vmax, also. I just imagine all these large AGMs a kinda pricey. I like not having to worry about them, though. Service wise.

This is a pretty small world, it just amazes me how many strangers have common friends and have lived in a close proximity. Thanks for the info on Batteries Plus.
This is what I replaced my PM-1 with, excellent battery too!

The X2 from Batteries Plus is the same battery. Just the one that is available fairly locally to him.

I ordered the X2 Group 31 from Batteries Plus this morning. It has to come from their warehouse and takes a week. There is also a 10% discount.
I ordered the X2 Group 31 from Batteries Plus online and it was ready for pickup the next day. I received 10% online discount and received it via curbside pickup. Very smooth transaction. Thanks for the thread made research and shopping very easy!
They did give me a pack of Deka Terminal Protectors for free. I am going to order some terminal clamps. Are these terminal protectors worth using to minimize corrosion?
One last question (ha), is it recommended to put terminal clamps on your TM batteries as well?
Thanks in advance!

That is overkill, IMHO. Amperage draw is considerably less on that setup.
