Great customer service

Got a great price and was eager to install it on my Dad's RV. Te very next day it was dead and had O'Reilly check it since they were closer to me. Had a dead cell. Took back and replaced it no questions. Made it super easy. Thanks 🙏 for such great service!

Works Well

We just bought two more for our trolling motor. We previously bought the same battery for our 140 Suzuki outboard and it has held up great for the past year. We haven't had a chance to run the boat much this year but if we have any problems I will come back and update.

Hallett 210 starting battery for mercury 502

Boat meets the CCA for my starting battery on my mercury 502 big block, just installed beginning of 2020 season but I have been able to let it sit for 2 or 3 weeks and it starts right up every time.

A bargain on a quality battery

I bought one of these batteries 10 years ago and use it in my boat that runs some electronics and also serves as the starting battery. It's maintenance free and takes vibration in the boat well. AGM batteries charge faster and last longer than most others and do not discharge if left unused as lead acid batteries do. I have an onboard battery charger on my boat that gets plugged in to recharge two trolling motor batteries and this one, all are AGM. It only takes a few hours. The alternator on my outboard really is enough to keep this one charged as I run charters in my boat. I'm replacing this one with a new one just for preventive maintenance. The only other battery I would consider is a lithium battery, but the expense of them is quite high, but if a light battery is one you want, that would be it, otherwise this Duracel AGM battery is an excellent choice.

Excellent Battery

Chose the AGM model based on feedback from techs because of the 100% maintenance free feature of an AGM sealed battery. I have used it for and 8' boat with a 13lb motor, and a 14' canoe with a 30lb motor and it has provided all day fishing trips for both using the trolling motors for primary propulsion. It is heavy, but maintenance free and slow battery charge drainage are great! Excellent little battery.

HOLDS A CHARGE AND GREAT FOR FARM USE

I use this to power an electric fence for goats - solar charged, the set up has some shade in the wintertime, and this battery will draw down until the charger shuts it off, about 11.5 volts. Been doing this with two of these batteries, purchased at the same time (I change one for the other when they finally can't be kept up by the solar) for over 6 years, and they are just now getting to the point they won't hold a charge. Good battery for the price, and AGM / maintenance free can't be beat!

Tests "fine" but won't last

I bought two of these for a trolling motor with spot lock which pretty much continuously runs the motor when you're stopped. For 15 months they worked flawlessly in windy conditions or not. Could stay out all day and not run out of charge. Then one day they ran out of juice before the day was over. This was despite being faithfully put on the on board two bank charger with smart charging (includes trickle charge) every time I came back from fishing. I tried them again three times, including using another charger in case it was my on board charger that was bad. No luck. I take them back to Sam's and say, "They take a charge but run out of juice so fast they are of no use." The guy tests them on some high tech tester and says. "They test fine, I can't warranty them." So realizing that he has no authority to disregard the "test", I just buy two more batteries. So ultimately this is like taking your phone in and saying the phone battery dies after a full charge after 2 hours. They test it and since it works initially on a full charge, they have to say, "It tests fine." Yeah, let me take you out on the lake 2 miles from shore and we'll shut off the outboard and we'll see about your "tests fine" after you paddle us back. My experience is the warranty is probably only valid if the battery won't take a charge, not if it isn't suitable for purpose. That being said, I don't know that another brand battery would be better, I just realize the warranty is pretty worthless.

This Battery is bad, bad, bad

I bought two of these in March 2020 for my boat. I installed them in April and they worked very well for a while. The first one went bad just before the 18 warranty expired. The Sam's Club battery tester kept saying that the battery was fine, but it was not. I spent about three hours arguing with them and making them retest the battery. Finally they replaced the battery, just to get rid of me. The second battery went bad a month after the warranty expired, so I'm out of luck. I've never seen batteries that will not even last two years. I will not buy them again.

Only lasted two boating seasons

Always trickle charged when not in active use. Worked great for two seasons and then suddenly died without warning - read 6v and wouldn't take a charge from two different chargers. Likely an internal plate short circuit. Failed at 22 months, outside of the 18 month warranty (non pro-rated warranty). The Sam's technician insisted on testing it and attempted to argue "it needs to be properly charged". Very frustrating experience and I expect better knowledge from Sam's technicians.

Buyer beware

I bought two and they lasted just out of the warranty period and completely died. I went back to flooded cell Interstates, as I got over 6 years out of the last ones and they were still going strong. Interstate also has a better warranty and stands behind their product. I would NOT buy this product again.
