You will get 1,000 different answers from 1,000 different people. The truth is that you probably will never tell the difference between two batteries for TM use. Pick one that has the size, rating, and price that fits you and never look back....wether it be Everstart or Optima. You get lovers and haters on every brand made...

Default Recon AGMs

Call this place and ask if they have any reconditioned AGM batts. I bought a pair in my neck of the woods and they were crazy cheap. I bought a pair of group 31s for $170.00. The best part of the story is, I won $100.00 on a scratch off on the way to the battery shop. Both batteries have performed flawlessly.
