Replacement Batteries
Replacement Batteries
I looked for the topic but couldn’t find so I apologize if it already exists on here. I need to replace at least one of my deep cycles. I have 2007 252 with duals and switch. What is the preferred battery setup now with duals? I currently have the Interstate 24s. Also do I need to switch them both out at the same time? Appreciate the help!! cheers!

Re: Replacement Batteries
Myself. Yes replace in pairs. I would get the largest that will fit. More power the better.

Re: Replacement Batteries
Batteries vary widely in capacity and price. Did you get good service from the Interstates?
You may want to go with the same ones, or a slightly bigger size. If you upsize, you may need to replace the box or hold down plate they're mounted in.
I like the idea of AGM hybrids...but we can always find a way to spend way too much money on stuff.
I agree on replacing in pairs.

Re: Replacement Batteries
I run one interstate battery and one Trojan deep cycle. Normally replace both at the same time but have done them individually at times.JGY444 wrote: Fri Aug 09, 2019 8:43 pm Thanks, guys! I’m thinking of doing the Interstates again but open to upgrading if their is one. Cheers!
Also carry a hand sized battery jump for emergencies.

Re: Replacement Batteries
Sams Club Duracell AGM Marine Batteries. They are made by East Penn, and I would guess are about the same price as the interstates you are looking at.JGY444 wrote: Fri Aug 09, 2019 8:43 pm Thanks, guys! I’m thinking of doing the Interstates again but open to upgrading if their is one. Cheers!

Re: Replacement Batteries
I just replaced both 24s with 27s a couple of months ago. I got a deal on them from our Marina for for $220 and some change.

Re: Replacement Batteries
JGY, Check to see if you have an Interstate whole sale distribution center. We have one here in KC and they will sell direct. It will save you some money.
