Where to buy a deep cycle marine battery?
« on: April 11, 2013, 02:11:23 PM »
Does anyone have a recommendation on where to buy a Deep Cycle marine battery (East side)?  Nothing too fancy – I’m just going to use it for a Minn Kota 30 lb. 

Thanks,  :tup:

I know that is sounds weird but O have heard really good things about Wa*Mart marine batteries.  I was told that Interstate makes them. :dunno:

There is only about 3 companies that make all the batteries, maby 4 but I'm sure 3. So just find the guys who sell them for less, maby type in "the cheapest batteries'' on google and see what pops up.

There is only a few manufacturers of batteries.  Brands dont mean squat really.  Walmart is usually cheapest.  I buy em there and have no problems.  Most importantly they honor the warranty unlike ford did.  Costco can be good too.
MAGA!  Again..

I buy about $2k in batteries every six weeks over here for work and We use Toby's battery in Spokane. But we also use Interstate and they make the Costco batteries. Due to the volume we buy the best price is Toby's.

Costco has a 30 month warrantee.  The first year, you can take it back for ANY reason (you don't like the color, it's too heavy,...), after that, it's pro-rated.  I think I'm sold!

Best battery out there is http://odysseybatteries.com/applications/odyssey-marine-batteries.htm I've had two of these in my boat since 04 and never touched them.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Dyno Battery in Seattle.  They make them all right there.
Best batteries I've ever bought.  Extremely knowledgeable folks.

On sale at Les Schwab means you're still paying about 25% more for the battery than everyone elses everyday price.

What peoples thoughts on Budget Batteries? They have the shops scattered around and they seem to always be busy when i drive by.
