[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 302115, member: 4251"] Like what has already been said, there are just a few battery makers anymore, so there is not much difference between brands. I've got a WM cranking batt in my boat that was made 5/08, worked fine last year. Have not had the boat this year to say it works but will assume it will. have a WM deep cycle battery for the MK Terrova 55 and it does fine, can troll as long as I want on the one battery that is 2-3 yrs old. The prior TM battery was a WM and lasted 4 yrs before losing a cell. The key is to do proper maint and charging on any brand battery you get, and they should last you several years. I buy a WM battery for $100, if it lasts 4 yrs, then that's only $25/yr for the battery, and you spend more than that on gas, etc. on just one single fishing trip, so it's all somewhat relative in my view.
