Check out the Sears Platinum PM1 batteries instead. Better battery with a much better three year non declining warranty.

I have all Optima blue tops in my boat. 4 of them and I've never had a single problem. The have enought CCA to fire the engine and they are also deep cycle.

Last Die Hard Marine dual purpose battery I bought didn't make it 13 months. My blue top Optima cranking/deep cycle is over 3 years old and has never let me down after running both sonars and livewells sometimes for hours.</p>

Eric, I have two blues on my trolling motor right now just a year old and so far I like them. I have been told that the yellow is better on the engine and other electronics than the red. The yellow is designed to withstand, not as much battery drain and then recharging as the blue, but better than the red? Make sense? The red is supposed to be a cold cranking engine battery. Anyway that what I was told!

I run Deka batteries, but if you choose something else make sure it has a lot of CCA and A lot of reserve time. The stealth charging system would be a good addition as well. I run the Deka deep cycle with 1050 CCA.
