Optima yellow tops gets my vote too. Never used a better battery for the trolling motor in my boat. 3-4 days before having to charge it--that's about 30 miles of water with a 55 amp current draw and you don't have to worry about the acid spilling/leaking anywhere. The downside is the price, but you get what you pay for here.

High $$$
Even BIGGER BUCKS, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Optima's, Odyssey, way to much over kill on batteries you guy's, I am thinking. Diehards & Intersates have better warrenties, can be replaced practically anywhere, and are less than 1/2 the price.
BUT it is your money $$$$ . . .

The PC-1500 is around $189.00. Click the Distributor link on their website or call them for the closest place to purchase. I don't know if any FTE sponsors carry them. They have a 4-year warranty, typical service life is 6 to 8 years. The Odysseys were originally designed for military applications.

I thought that the Optima Yellow Top was a deep cycle battery meant for marine use only. Can you tell me why I should put two of the Optima Yellow Top batteries instead of the Red Top Optima batteries in my 6.0 - 2005 Ford Diesel?
