Which battery to buy for my ZX200?

[Case3015]

I have a 2014 Skeeter ZX200. Last week I charged the batteries all night and they were fully charged when I left in the morning. After a 1 hr drive to the lake both of my depth finders were alarming with low voltage warnings and my cranking battery barely had enough juice to crank my Yamaha. I tried several times the past couple of days and it just will not hold a charge for very long. I currently have a Powertron Extreme. I know I want the biggest battery that will fit. The length of the battery tray is about 12".

Any suggestions on a cranking battery?

I'm using the Duracell on an Opti 200 and have no problems.

The X2 Power Battery in that link is $379.99. Holy crap. That battery better last forever.
The Duracell is more reasonably priced.

Thanks for the links.

I just bought the Northstar for $350 - it's pricey but its an awesome battery.

If you want to go cheaper and Lead Acid, NAPA has a really good commercial battery for $160-170.

I have Duracells in mine. No complaints or issues at all with them.

Exide deep cycle in a 31 series for just over 100.00 does the job for my ZX. Its runs three graphs along with normal pumps all day.
Next time I will go AGM just because I Won't need to add distilled water every few months.

I've used the Cabela's Group 30 AGM, and have been totally pleased with it - $250. I have one group 27 for my trolling motor, and it is over 6 years old and going strong.

QUIT USING LEAD ACID BATTERIES YEARS AGO. TRIED ALL BRANDS, GOT THREE YEARS OUT OF THEM. SWITCHED TO OPTIMA'S GETTING MINIMUM OF 5 YRS. NOW. (JUST HAD TO REPLACE ONE 5 YRS OLD) OTHERS ARE STILL GOING STRONG. ONLY BAD THING WITH OPTIMAS IS THEY DONT LIKE TO SIT FOR LONG PERIODS WITHOUT CHARGER HOOKED UP. MY CHARGER STAYS PLUGGED IN ALL WINTER. GOT THEM IN MY VEHICLES AS WELL AND NO PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR ONE THAT DOESNT GET RUN OFTEN. PUT A 2 AMP MAINTAINER ON IT, KEEP IT PLUGGED IN AND ALL IS GOOD.
