Oh, how awful! No, no, NO! That will never do!

You must always buy the most expensive battery you can find from the most
exclusive boat chandler within 100 nautical miles for your boat.

Noone in their right mind would ever buy anything for their yacht except:http://www.rollsbattery.com/
orhttp://www.lifelinebatteries.com/
orhttp://www.optimabatteries.com/home.php

Everybody knows only batteries costing thousands should be professionally
installed by only the finest battery experts in your Bayliner.

SARCASM OFF.

210AH isn't much power because you should only discharge them down 105AH
before recharging. But, if that's enough power, or you have room for many
banks of these, they're fine.......

....but, for God's sake, NEVER let anyone at the marina know you bought
them at WalMart!

I finally decided I cannot afford the cheap stuff from Wal Mart or
Harbor Freight. Most of it is all Chinese made and is so bad that you
spend so much time returning it you lose money compared to something
slightly more expensive and US made. Sure, they exchange their
batteries when they go bad but how often do you want to lug a battery
from your car into Wal Mart and go through the exchange process, 3
times in a year seemed excessive to me.
This weekend, I was using a Harbor Freight pair of slip joint pliers
and they simply broke, now I gotta go to Sears and buy the good ones
that dont break like I shoulda in the first place. Every so often you
might get something from Harbor Freight in the way of expendable
tools, like some TiN coated drills for next to nothing. Hell, I
expect to break and lose them so they are ok However, most of their
stuff is pure junk.
I warn you, do not buy outlet strips made in China. One ended up
costing me $60,000 when a cold solder joint caused the whole thing to
get too hot and started a fire. I was almost sick when I saw what the
fire investigator showed me on the Chinese outlet strip.
I run an X-ray spectroscopy company. One of my employees had a son
with one of those Thomas Train toys from China, we checked the paint,
it was pure lead oxide, you coulda used it for radiation shielding.
