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.

Superb service

I just pulled two of these from my RV with a manufacturing date of 11-19. They both tested PERFECTLY. This is statistically unusual as 7 years is the extreme limit of their duty lifespan. I plan to replace them as a precaution.

Still going…

Bought two of these in May 2018. 5 years and still work fine. Tempted to keep running them but I run offshore so I am replacing for maintenance reasons. Boat sits sometimes for 3 weeks or longer and no issues with battery. If over 3 weeks no use I connect on board NOCO gen3 charger overnight.

Well worth it.

I bought this battery in the beginning of the 2014 season. I did my due diligence of research. This is an East Penn battery. Like anything else, with proper maintenance it will last. 15 foot BlueFin 30hp Johnson. I troll with a 45lb Minn Kota for a few hours a day with 2 people on board with a full cooler and gear. I set my fishfinder alarm for 9 volts and IF the alarm sounds it still spins the starter off like new. One day trolling hard for 3 hours my buddy asked how long the battery lasts, told him I don't know, but I can start the engine if you want. Back to maintenance... the 4 amp charger on my 30HP Johnson wont bring it all they way up on a 4 mile return to the dock. Put the Schumacher charger on it at home and do it again tomorrow. Looking forward to the 7th season.

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!

Disappointment!

Purchased the battery on August 2025 and completely dead on February of 2026. Battery will not take a charge. It shows 12.45 volts after charging for 24 hours with a NOCO 10-amp charger and had only 8.5% of the required amps. Battery was also connected to a trickle charger since new. Very disappointed with this battery. I have other brands deep cycle batteries on my two RV's and my other boat going to 5 years with no issues. I do not recommend these batteries.

AGM not worth the hype

battery only used in summer time for two seasons (purchased 20 month ago ). May have used the battery a total of 20 times to power a 36lb thrust trolling motor. Never really lasted more than an hour or so with on and off usage before it lost most of the power. I assumed that is all the life one would get on a single charge.... Always kept the battery charged as recommended. Less then 2 years later it wont hold more than 5 min charge. Since warranty was for only 18 month replacement and no prorated extension, we are now looking for a new one. So much for trying to get a better grade battery with longer life as advertised. Would not recommend this battery as we have now learned the one we purchased has poor performance....

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.

One dead at 25 months

I purchased two in Jan 2020 to replace flooded wet cell batteries that were 3 years old. I was hoping the AGM would have longer life. WRONG! The 'house' battery is dead at 25 months. The alarm on the chart plotter is set at 12.3V, roughly a 50% charge. Draw on the battery while fishing is the livewell, stereo and marine radio. Last 2 times out fishing the alarm goes off only 30 minutes after shutting the motor off. Going back to flooded wet cell; cheaper and lasts longer.
