which battery?

#1 Post by GGALVIN » Fri Oct 31, 2014 1:29 pm

I need a marine starting battery and two deep-cycle batteries in the spring. I run a 90 hp Mercury 4 cycle 2008 motor.
Any advice for a acid based maintenance free batteries for trolling and starting? Also, how much MCA should I buy for starting and reserve for trolling? Thanks in advance.

In my pontoon , I use regular flooded lead acid but in my Wellcraft cuddy I use AGM batteries. I use the Sears Diehard Platinum which are re-badged Odyssey but much cheaper.
