All, I need to replace 2 of my 4 8D batteries during this winter's layup. Wondering what you all use and have had good fortune with and also which brand you have had not so good success with. Lead acid, not gel.
Thanks in advance!

We've had good luck with Sam's Club provided Duracell. Skip the AGM's they are not worth it.

And the charger is a big part of how well they last.

Rolls/surrett Last set of Rolls 8Ds lasted 14 years and only gave up prematurely because i was lazy and let the tops of the plates dry out a few times. current set is 7 years old.
They run a 2000 watt inverter when not at the dock. They take a decent work out and last.
