I use the wally world batteries and had a chance to test that warrenty
this spring. The battery I installed last year just would not get over
11 volts. Bad cell I presumed even though I don't have a specific
gravity tester. Took it back and the guy checked and found the bad
cell, gave me a new battery and sent me on my way. No hassles, no
probs.

Okay, I've had my first boat for a little while now. 85HP outboard
Chrysler. Came with a car 12v battery for starting, etc, but the
battery is crap as it is getting old and not holding charge for long
anymore.. Do you folks recommend a car 12v battery in a boat or is
there something more preferred? It is used for starting, running a
fish finder, and a small car stereo occasionally.

Thanks


You can go the other way. If you get a car battery from Wal-Mart they
will swap it out for up to 2 years for free. I think you could take
one in with a bulletr hole in it and if it was less than 2 years old
the girl just tells you to go get another one.
