Preferred Battery?

[JoeFD]

What is your preferred battery? I bought a Duralast from Autozone in September 2018, and it failed. They replaced it under warranty in April 2019, and it has failed again, but they only honor the warranty from the original purchase date. Seemed odd to me that I would get two bad ones in a row, so questioning the quality of the brand for marine batteries.
Looking for your opinion on what I should replace it with?

Thanks!

I bought the Duracell Platinum AGM marine group 31 battery from Sam’s Club about 4 years ago. I have never run out of battery or even started to run low voltage. I don’t have 4 screens, poles, etc...but I run 2 Helix 10s and a livewell all day without running low.

If you're gonna stay with traditional wet cell batteries it's pretty hard to beat Walmart's Everstart series. They come w/ a 1-year warranty and Wally World will replace them within the 1-year period, whether it's new purchase or a replacement for a new purchase. You're never too far from a Walmart. I use a Deka for my cranking battery. A bit more expensive and harder to find but they last longer, perform better than any wet cell battery I've owned.

I went with Deka's for the 36volt trolling motor and my starting battery. 1 year into it so far, its excellent.

Everstart

Everstart, cheap and easy to replace if needed. I do not run a lot of electronics. Might think differently if I did.
