Hey folks...
I have had my boat (bought second hand) for about 3 years now and I have decided that this season start will be done with new batteries and likely new cables. I would like to change the batteries to AGM's so that they are Maint free and all of that.
I have an Optima Yellow Top in my SUV and am a huge fan. I have had no further battery issues since installing that battery in the vehicle when I had previously gone through 3 standard OEM batteries in about 1 year.
So I asked the marine tech who would be doing the work about replacing my batteries and cables with Optima Batteries. I value his opinion and he recommended Discover AGM batteries (if needed or recommended after a test of the system). I am not familiar with them and I have not been able to gleen too much info from the web about them. Does anyone have experience with them and if so how to they compare to Optima's and in general which would the community choose.
Cheers
