Best Cranking Battery/CCA and Reserve Capacity.....? for the experts

[Red Lund]

Hi guys - I also posted this in the Lounge to get more eyeballs but figured I would ask my Ranger brothers as you guys are always knowledgable.

I'm in the market for a new cranking battery and have been happy with the Sears PM1/Odyssey version that has 1150 CCA and a reserve capacity of 205 minutes.

The RC is of particular importance to me as I run the poles, pumps, electronics etc all day long.

Is this battery (also private labeled under a couple other brands I believe) still the best from a CCA/RC perspective, or is there a new battery with better specifications that you would recommend?

Any suggestions are super appreciated!

Thanks, RL

No expert, a little expensive but is a beast and 48 month free replacement warranty.

That is the one I added to my Ranger - 3 12's, live well on full time for 8 hours, radio ... It started getting a little low at the end of the tournament, but not enough to cause issues starting 250 Pro XS at last stop. It is a beast.

SEARS PM1 was great but no longer exists under Diehard/Sears brand. I'm running 2nd season on the Batteries Plus X2Power and it is just as good as my old PM1.

This one seems to be the consensus on several pages.

The Sam's Club Duracell 31M is also thought of nicely but it only has a 24 month warranty on it IIRC.

This. I have four of the 31 AGM X2's, zero issues running a Solix 15 all day.

I run the VMaxx Charge Tanks never a single issue in 5 years. Still going strong.

This one carries 305RC.
