I've had one since I bought it at a Johnson Controls Employee discount in 2007. It STILL works. Awesome batteries. I'm sure I will have to pay more than $75 to replace it now though.

Optima's are great batteries and produced by same company as interstate - they are a AGM vs. the lead acids on the interstates.

In my case, for my boat, it's not worth it to go to a optima (27) - although they have outstanding reviews as well.

The interstates are half the cost, together on a 24v system run 50% longer (reserve capacity both group 27 vs group 27 size) - and the ONLY negative is and added 44lbs in total on the boat (22lbs per battery). I'm already 2500lbs loaded on the boat and 40lbs doesn't account for any appreciable performance issues for my boat.

If I had a tinner with a tiller - maybe it would be worth it.

i have alberta lithiums in all my outdoor stuff.
12v 10ah in my finders and camera and 12v 100ah for my minkota.
best prices by far in alberta and great customer service
Keep in mind you will have to get a charger that is lithium compatible
