Edd,
When Perceptions batteries died we picked up 2 group 31's at Costco (can't remember who makes them - but when I looked at the options they were the best rated especially when price is considered ..

Even when cruising, I will run the engine for 20 minutes to pick up a mooring or depart one and give the system a good charge. I've also replaced all my lights with LEDs and usually try to draw as little as possible. I have two Group 31s now from Sears (http://www.sears.com/diehard-platinum-marine-battery-group-size-31m-price/p -02850131000P?prdNo=1 <http://www.sears.com/diehard-platinum-marine-battery-group-size-31m-price/p -02850131000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1> &blockNo=1&blockType=G1). Three year warranty, and, of course, this is now year four, and one is deader than an original series red-shirt crewman. All the best, Edd Edd M.

I love being able to go many days without hooking up. Remember draining less than 50% (~12.2v no load) starts to decrease over all battery life. I was in a pinch and bought what was available at the closest availble store. Autozone marine...seem to be doing fine 2 years later.

I tried charging the latter, and it slowly drained back down to 11.9 after a couple of weeks. Assuming I can't get it to hold a charge again, I'm thinking of replacing it with a small engine-starter type of battery and use ALL to start/run the engine and then flip to 1 when in other modes. Any recommendations for a good all-purpose (and inexpensive) sealed battery good for giving the engine a good starting jolt? All the best, Edd Edd M.
