Default Anyone with a line on good quality deep cycle batteries

I own a blue optimal battery it's a good battery but I can't seem to be able to find another one.Red ones are easy to find but are not good for everyday charging (or so specs say)I purchased one thinking I could use like the blue one so now I'm stuck with it so I'll try to use it like I do the blue one , how long will it take to ruin the battery ,or I use it trolling? Also if you guys know of any other quality batteries I could sure use the info. Having a good reliable battery can make or break a good fishing trip.

Another vote here for the Kirkland deep cycle batteries. I've heard they are actually made by Interstate. Either way, it runs my MinnKota Traxxis 55 for a few days on the same charge!!

Princess Auto is a good place....and they will work w/ ya on price.

I would recommend the deep cell gel batteries if you can afford em.

Being this is posted in the Flyfishing section I am thinking this is for a pontoon and if it is I would suggest you stay with a gel battery.

No spill/smell/seapage concerns.
