That Napa battery sure does look appealing to me.
The battery I got was not old stock, was manufactured this month. It had actually just been delivered a few hours before I picked it up!
For the record fellas the Duracell makes Mercury (European Marine) "approved list"
-Odyssey PC1500, PC1700, PC2150 and PC2250.
-Optima Group 31
-West Marine Sea Volt Group 31 AGM (Edited due to change in capacity of Grp 27).
-Cabela's (X900-31 (New Addition to list)) **
-Batteries Plus X2Power BCI Group 31M (SLI31AGMDPM) **
-Odyessy 31M-PC2150 **
-Trolling Thunder TT1175 and TT1370.
-Excide Megacycle (Mercury Brand) MC-31 and XMC-31.
-Deka Sea Mate/Intimidator 8A31DTM.
The Deka sea mate is a relabeled Sam's Club Duracell 31 AGM
Just make sure it is the Deka made version. For $180 it is the best value in batteries.

Works like a charm for me... had it almost a year but has been flawless thus far! 3 yr warranty to boot as well!

Just to let You Guys Know Sams club Duracell's going on sale the month of march $20.00off they are a good battery for the price of an agm
If it hasn't got at least 950 CCAs I wouldn't use it as a cranking battery for my Pro XS.....I run the 31 series X2 Power Premium AGM from batteries plus w/1150 CCAs.

This napa battery still has my interest, light weight & 3 year warranty. The X2 is awesome, but it’s around 75lbs. Sams battery is so close to the min CCA for a Merc.
It is right at minimum. If I were looking for an AGM in the 200 dollar area for my Opti, and accessories, I would choose the one below over the Sam's. The Duracell at Sam's is a rebadged Deka Intimidator 8A31 with only 800 ccas. This one is a rebadged Intimidator 9A31 with 925 ccas for 30 dollars more. O'Reilly has their relabelled vision as well, as do other retailers.

As it is, I do well with the Napa/Deka flooded commercial battery for cranking.

It didnt..it wasn't used in a derogatory way...you did nothing wrong..
Now the battery issue, $440 bucks for a battery....go buy another $150 interstate, put a jumper on it and run it as a big ass 12V and be done with it...yeah you got extra weight of another battery back there but so what...you'll not have to worry about running out of juice anymore... period...

Buy what you want but that NAPA battery is a beast: weighs 61#,Reserve 195, CA=1380, CCA=1125, $159.95, Part #7234 or #7235, and leaves your wallet heavier after the purchase, to each his own.
