    That is a rebadged Deka deep cycle. Good battery, but much less money at Sam’s Club, Batteries Plus, or O’Reilly’s.

    What is it called at Batteries Plus? Duracell Ultra Deep Cycle Battery for Deep Cycle BCI Group 31M Marine and Boat? Does not show reserve capacity on he site is this the same one?

    I paid $130 a pop last year for 3 NAPA 31 series deep cycles. Happy so far

    I bought the super start batteries at oreillys and they are ok but only lasted less than two seasons. The original interstate batteries lasted 5.

    I noticed the warranty is 30 months on this battery versus only 12 month fir the same re-badged battery. Napa is only 12$ more but another 1 1/2 years of warranty included no brainer for me -anyone else use these batteries ?

    I went with the NAPA group 31 Commercial Battery this year for the cranking battery. I have always used Delco batteries. Replacing them after 6 years this year, my supplier told me not to expect the same type of quality. I have no reason why, and he only sells a house brand and Delco.

    I have always used the delco high output in a group 24---- never Had any problems

    I run the Napa Group 31 Commercial battery and love it. I have 3 Onix Units and have run from 7pm to 11am with minimal runs under 2 miles and it always fired up.

    I have found the NAPA and Interstates to be great batteries for the money.
