What battery do y'all use in your rig?

I've had the same two Odyssey marine deep cycle batteries since 2007 or 8. Never had a problem with them. Some times they might sit for 6 months, but they'll start the truck with no problem.


Of coarse now I said all that.....I bet their dead now.

Still running the same two.......Now five years older and still holding up fine.

Yellow top Optima for me. I love it.
Has a date code sticker of 02/2005 on it.

I have no idea what I'll do when it dies but I won't put another Optima in it as the quality has gone way down.

Deka.


Really anything made by east penn, which is 80% of what's been named(Deka, odyssey, store brand agm). Same thing with a different sticker on it.

Just bought a Die Hard AGM for my buggy from Advance Auto. Wanted a battery that could be easily exchanged/warrantied when I was on a wheeling trip since there is usually an Advance Auto at least relatively close by.

I have been using the same Die Hard AGM battery from advanced for 3-4 years without any problems.

I guess I've been lucky with my Red top Optimas. Had my buggy close to 10 yrs now and the one that was in it when I bought it I'm guessing lasted close to 10 years. Replaced it 3 or 4 years ago with another and zero issues with it. I keep a tender on it in the winter if it sits for more than a month. The tow pig has Diehard agm's in it. Not sure how old they are but I've noticed it crank a little slower than usual a couple times lately. Guess I might be in the market soon too.

I ran a red top for like 10yrs until an electrical issue made my lights turn on unattended and killed it super dead. I was still able to use it for a while, but it wouldn't hold a charge (even disconnected) for more than a few days after that.

I picked up a yellow top about 7-8 years ago to replace it and it's been fine since. When this one eventually kicks it, I'll probably get another.

Yep, they make the Duracell agm's at Sam's Club. Good luck with them.
