asdve23rveavwa Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I realise there have been lots of battery threads on the forum, just a quick question. Anybody using the deep cycle Energizers sold at Walmart? What do you think of them? Heading to Restoule in four days, need a new deep cycle for around $120 or less. Thanks in advance!!

Roy Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Best battery for the money, Frankie. I have two in series for the 24v, 70 lb Minnkota and they're great. You won't go wrong and you shouldn't be paying $120 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I read on the forum somewhere that a few of you guys said the energizers were way better than the Nautilus that CT sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you buy it at Walmart for that price? Must have been a rollback, followed by a rollforward now, LOL! It was the big one I looked at for $107. I'm liking what I hear about the longevity of them from you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassmasta Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 How do these compare to the ones at Costco (Kirkland)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I've never used Kirklands but some friends have them and they like them. It might just be a bad coincidence but I've never seen nor heard of a good Nautilus. There must be some good ones because they seem to be selling enough of them.

asdve23rveavwa Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks for all the replies guys!! Think I've seen enough good endorsements to go pick one up in the next day or two. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nuker Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) here's one more! i got 2 that i got for $97 each at walmart. last time i was there, i think i saw them for $87. i see their price range from $87 to $115 so it's about timing to get the deal. i have a power drive v2 70# 24V and i have a humminbird 997c hooked up to them. i've gone a solid 8 hours in heavy winds, running between 5 and 10 on the power, and only dropped 1 bar on the battery indicator on the minn kota. normally i run no more than 2-2.5 on the power for the motor, so it was pretty windy. and i have a princecraft 186 with a merc 150 opti, 2 people, 60 gallons of gas and 2 full livewells and gear. so i vouch for them too. i believe mine are the 850 starting/deep cycles Edited August 18, 2010 by nuker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdve23rveavwa Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Picked up the Energizer today, thanks for the help guys. Thanks to lakerguy for his PM, as well, I did check out that alternative...ended up being a few bucks more than the battery I purchased. Looking forward to "christening" it up at Restoule.
