    Are there any discounts to be applied to these NAPA BAT 7234 or 7237 MODELS? Battery by me is $167 plus core fee.
    Would you guys agree the numbers on the BAT 7234 o7237 are vey good(reserve capacity and cranking amps?)

    Very happy with my Napa commercial battery. Not to mention 1225 CCA!

    If you have a stator, Mercury does not recommend AGM. It can stress the regulator. I know that Catfan has a different view and will probably be along to comment shortly.

    Have the napa commercial and it's been great. 2 big 12 screens, live wells and everything else. No problems so far 2yrs.

    Anyone have any experience using the Napa commercial Battery 7234 to run a Lowrance HDS LIVE 12 using Active Target on the bow, and HDS LIVE on the console? I do not fish tournaments so I will not be running the livewells. I also have an 98 Mariner with stater so it will not charge the batteries well while running either. Any advice appreciated
    Just remember it's not about the fish but they sure are fun to catch.

    I've been running these for a starting battery and the duel purpose for the TM. I get between 4-5 yrs in the boat. They're Maintenance Free Sealed Lead Acid. They've never let me down. I run 4 graphs and Hydrowave plus the livewells. Only bad thing is they weigh 70#'s apiece, but the GOOD thing is they run $100-$120 apiece depending on where you buy them. I go to Peterbilt or Freightliner when I need some.

    I ran one of Interstate’s group 31 Heavy Duty commercial starting batteries once (can’t remember if it was for Trucks or Heavy equipment) because a buddy got it free from his shop. I was skeptical about vibration since it wasn’t a marine rated battery but never had an issue. Lasted a long time and the spec’s were great. The posts were larger than normal so I had to change a few of my connectors to get them to fit. I can’t say its the right answer overall but it sure worked well for me

    I run a Diehard Group 31 commercial starting battery and it runs 3 9" graphs, 2 power poles and live well all day and still cranks the motor without issue. However they have raised the price on it significantly since I got mine 2 years ago, I think I paid $125 for mine and now they are $180, I am sure there are cheaper options. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/...p30/11968148-P

    Used the Napa group 31 commercial series to run my graphs (4 total including livescope), pumps, lights, etc and start my ProXS. Never an issue. I currently have the AGM interstate in my new z21 but will plan to switch back to the NAPA when this one goes out. Or possibly lithium...

    Is DieHard Battery, specifically PM1, still available?
    Thought it was discontinued?

    It's discontinued. This is a 5 year old thread that was resurrected.

    Odyssey used to make the PM 1 for Sears. It was a relabelled 31M-PC2150, which should still be available from Odyssey.
