Hello All,

Thinking about upgrading the batteries. Is there a big difference in the quality between AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) manufacturers? Which one to buy?

Thanks,
Dennis

The Lifeline website was very impressive.

I have always put Optima AGM in my Vette...and planned to do the same in my boat. Any opinion as to the Optima vs. Lifeline?

Happy boating!

I cant tell you which one is the best, but at the trucking company i work for we are changing all of our truck over to them. The ones in charge have spent alot of time investagating new styles of batteries. They say they are the best ones to get.

I used alot of different batteries on my boats and I love the Optimas. They last long and they have no problem holding a charge. their a little expensive but their worth it thats for sure.

They are all made the same way with licensed technology, buy according to price and capacity. If Walmart sells em in your area in the size you want go for it.

I have 2 Exide/Orbital AGM's and they have been great, half the price of an Optima from the boat dealer.

The AGM's in general. I really dont know the manufacture's name.
I think they are playing that one close to the belt.
