Great power at a value price

Replacing the 2 trolling motor batteries I purchased 5/2019 only because they are not fully charging. They are as good, or better, than any battery I have ever used for trolling at a much better price. Buying 2 more as peak Redfish season is here and I plan to cover miles of water.

36 Month Battery Warranty

If I were to invent a battery that could stand up to a 36 month battery warranty I’d be a multi-millionaire. I have two boats, one has a huge house bank of 6 marine lead cell and 2 AGM’s for starting. The other has one AGM starter and 3 lead cell for trolling. Needless to say I seemed to be buying a battery every other month for some reason. Tried the Everstarts and they are terrible, lasting maybe 13 months at best. Tried Deka and had even worse results with them going out annually but they had a 18 month warranty. Then switched to Duracell from Sam’s and have had no trouble for the past 2 1/2 years. So far I’ve switched all on the large boat to Duracell and this weekend replaced the last P0S everstart on the smaller boat to Duracell. I hope these continue to work well for me and highly recommend. I will never give 5 stars because that would be the non-existent lifetime battery that we’re all searching for.

Duracell deep cycle lasted 6 years +

I'm just now replacing my 2, Duracell group 27 deep cycle marine batteries that run my 24v trolling motor, from 5-2018. And I'm only replacing them because I'm about to spend 4 days fishing and don't want to take a chance of them not holding up, considering they're 6 years old. I keep them on a 3-bank charger year round, keep the water levels up, and only use my boat about 8 times throughout the season. No complaints on these batteries and I just hope the new ones hold up as well as the old ones did!

Dead after 3 years

They died too quick, IMO. Outside looks like new, inside totally destructed. One developed a shorted cell. And both got sulphated even though on a marine charger continuously. They are not good for house batteries, they run down and that kills them, we did not even get 20 trips out on the water with these. Deep cycle they really are not. I replaced them with Deka 6 v golf cart batteries from Lowes which are a true deep cycle design. Perhaps only good as starting batteries.

Duracell marine failure

I bought one late summer 2018 and it was bad within 9 months so I got a free replacement in 2019 and now about 10 months later the replacement is bad. I have another brand in the boat as part of the dual battery system and it is still going strong. I will never buy a marine Duracell again. Total waist of money on terrible batteries. With I could give it zero stars because it doesn't deserve one star. I maintain the batteries with distilled water and a float charger and I have a load tester that displays voltage, CCA and internal resistance. Bad batteries confirmed by Sam's tester.

Too soon to evaluate properly, average for now

I recently purchased two of these batteries for my RV. Duracell has a good reputation but I was surprised and disappointed they were shipped with very little fluid as both were more than an inch and a half below the top of the plates. I understand they are shipped low to avoid spillage during transport and handling, but these were too low. After filling and charging they seem to be working as expected, but it's way too early to give them a proper evaluation one way or the other. Ask me again in two years. Sams click and pull system worked well.

Dead off the shelf

Purchased July 2020. First time out with small trolling motor it registered at 25% after charging and struggled to turn the motor. I figured it was my error and charge again. On try number two, despite reading full, it powered the motor less than five minutes and quickly showed as depleted. Likely bad cells out of the factory. Very poor showing for Duracell quality control. I've lost confidence in their products. Paying a bit more for a more reputable product going forward.

Bad Choice

Bought this deep cycle battery to back up my sump pump. Lasted less than 17 months. Had both the sump pump charger and the battery tested. Charger was fine. Battery failed two separate tests (Sam's and the pump mfg). And, I was diligent in keeping the electrolyte at the prescibed level. In contacting Duracell, they offered no help or explanation. Seems it's always the dumb consumer's fault.
