Battery Question - 2017 G23

[bturner]

Most stock boat batteries are Group 24. I and several friends have had good luck with Interstate lead/acid batteries but making any suggestions about batteries on any boating forum pretty much will take you in the same direction as asking which motor oil you should use????

Come to think of it..... What motor oil should I use this season.....

I have new AGM batteries but most on
this forum hate them . We will see how they preform . Screw the lead acid lovers , LOL

I think I’ve decided on going with Interstate. I would feel better knowing the size I need. I guess I’ll have to have them pull the boat before I’m ready.

I had Interstate size 24 before I punted them for AGM size 78 . Again folks on this forum hate AGM batteries but I though I would try them after my Interstate batteries only lasted 3 seasons. I will bend over and see if these AGM batteries will have a longer life than lead acid batteries. I’m an AGM convert screw the lead acid lovers

The NOCO's are good... Don't go cheap on charger/maintainers... Been to a few fires caused by cheap battery chargers... Pays to get the good ones.

I also buy my batteries from USA battery here in Orlando. Find a commercial supplier. USA supplies a lot of fleets around here with their heavy use batteries and their batteries are always fresh.

As we speak , I’m getting my Noco 2 bank onboard charger installed

Noco >>>> ProMarine in my experience. But not sold on the AGMs. Price/AH/longevity.

the male plug on the OEM charger on my 2019.... mounted on the Wall panel to the right of the drivers chair...it’s pushing itself back into the panel to where I can barely get the female end of the extension to get a good connection. What a PITA.

yes, the a/c plug holder is a bad design. But i am confident you can repair it.. It is just a few screws and you move the little panel and you can reach behind it.

I have great success with Interstate wet cell and AGM. Group-24 size. Depending on how you use the boat, you should at least have one main cranking or a pair of dual-purpose. If you spend a lot of time at anchor, then I consider one cranking and one deep-cycle.

Thanks MLA!

I think the undisputed champ of all time in the price/ah discussion while maintaining a decent quality and warranty is the Interstate SRM-29 at $120ea

[nyryan2001]

Guys, self reporting here.

I realized today my 2019 G has Dekka Group 31 AGMs!

The platinum version, extended life.

Too funny, folk on this forum crap on AGM battery so much . I just replaced my Interstate batteries with AGM batteries and great results thus far
