Title: Where to buy a deep cycle marine battery?
Post by: Carl 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:
Carl

Post by: Mudman on April 11, 2013, 07:30:23 PM: 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.

Post by: Ridgeratt on April 11, 2013, 07:53:25 PM: 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.

Post by: Carl on April 17, 2013, 08:55:46 PM: 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!

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