Stay Away from this Deep Cycle Marine Battery! 

I have this exact battery for my trolling motor, and before I used it for trolling I used it for two years hooked up to solar on my RV. It's 4 years old and still going strong.

From an old NAPA manager: There are really only 2 battery manufacturers in America, Johnson controls and Exide. Look it up, it's a fact. No matter who you buy your battery from, Wal-Mart, Auto Zone, wherever, it's exactly THE SAME inside with a different sticker on the case. Just be sure you are getting the correct battery for your application (CCA's, Amp hours, etc). Generally speaking if it has a white case like an Interstate Battery, it's a Johnson. Black case, Exide. The biggest killer is extreme temps hot or cold, and overcharging which will evaporate the electrolyte fluid and warp the plates, rendering it useless.

I am in snow cold Canada. I am currently using Kirkland batteries from Costco and Interstate from local suppliers. I would like to tell you how I over too many years kept up batteries for family boats. For myself and my extended family I always trickle charge at the end of the season after first ensuring they all have filtered bottled water. All batteries rest on plastic styrofoam mats in an insulated cottage. A piece of mating is also between the batteries and the outside wall. All the terminals are scraped clean and covered with either vaseline or dialectic grease. Then I cover the whole battery with a garbage bag to keep minute particles of dust off. This probably seems unnecessary but as a system it works for me. Over the years I have extended some batteries as long as 10 years or more ! I also take real care to remove corrosion from battery leads and spray them with protectant at end of season. Every spring I further charge all batteries a couple of times. This also gives me a great excuse to get away from the city. Hope this helps somebody.

2 years for a $50 battery that wasn't keep up too well on a trickle charger and wasn't used to often...can't complain to much about that

My boat has Everstart batteries running the trolling motor that are still going 8 years later.

I’ve been using Everstart Maxx batteries for years. But....I use the maxx29. The 29 is actually a 31 series battery. I’ve had several maxx 29’s in different boats and with a good marine charger I’m getting 6-8 years out of them. With most of the lakes I fish, they are 200-300 acres and 10hp limit so I run the heck out of the trollingmotor. My days usually start around 7am and go to around 7pm even to midnight. I’m talking 12-17hrs on the water. I fish a bunch and very long hour days. If that’s not a true testament to maxx29’s I don’t what is.

I've had tremendous luck with both starting and deep cycle EverStart batteries. It's possible you got a bad one. Most people don't charge them until they're completely dead, which will kill a battery in a year or two. They're made by Johnson Controls( actually the company that acquired Johnson Controls) and manufacture about half the batteries in existence.

I had an almost identical marine ever start that came in an old truck I bought, swapped it into another junk car two years later, then put in a truck I was selling to my neighbor. 6 years later, he’s still using it in the “wrong” application as a starter battery, has lasted longer than my Napa batteries and duralast batteries. Amazed me to be honest.

I’ve been using 6 29dc everstart maxx to run my school bus barbershop … full power lights, tv , mini split a/c, air compressor and more… I get more then 9 hours before my batteries are at 50% without running the bus or using solar .. I’ve been doing this for about 4 years same batteries 🔋 no issues .

I’ve been using a Everstart 29DC from Walmart for the past 8 years. Always checked the water level and charged it after every use. Never really used a maintainer (battery tender) on it and just had it checked this spring. The battery shop had to use 2 different machines to verify the overall health of the battery... Not because it was bad, but how well the battery performed for being an 8 year old battery! Like another comment on here stated there are only 2 battery manufacturers in the US. Just keep it charged and maintain the water level. No need to spend extra money on fancy brand names. Of course once in a while a few are duds but that is to be said with everything.

Best battery I ever had in the past 2 years has been a Maxx29dc marine battery from Walmart. It pushes my 14 ft jon all day long with 36 lbs thrust motor. Never had issues with it, newer ones seem to have lost power output somehow, even though they were the same model

I bought two EverStart marine batteries at the end of the season because they were on sale. Unfortunately I didn't get any use out of these batteries. I stored them on a shelf in the garage that is insulated. The next season I put them in my boat and they both lost charge fast. When recharging they didn't hold a charge and fluid levels were good. Walmart would not refund or swap!

I have 3 EverStart 29DC deepcycle batteries. I bought them in 2017. They are still going strong. How did you take care of your battery? Did you have it on a trickle charger while you were not using it over the winter? Did you preform proper maintenance on the battery? Is this the only 24DC EverStart battery you have used? If not, how did the others work? To say that all of them are not any good when you have had a bad experience with only 1 battery is not a review done in good faith.

Ive had bad luck with that size battery. They seem to go out fairly quickly. I've had a good experience with size 65 and 27DC. I had a 65 last 8 years and I still have a 2011 27DC Everstart that still works. I use it as a accessory battery in my limosuine.

The Maxx line of EverStarts are really good in my experience. I have 4 in my 5th wheel and all of them are five years old. My boat battery is a 24ms Everstart and its 7yrs old. No battery will last if you don't take care of it. They have to be on a maintainer when not in use. You also can't run one down to say 50% and let it sit like that for months, it probably won't recover. If you go through multiple batteries and you can't get at least 5yrs out of one, its not the batteries, its you.

Always take a volt meter to the store & test the voltage before you buy. 12.6 volts or up. Anything less means the battery has discharged from sitting around.

I just bought 4 27dc'from Walmart! I haven't hooked them up or even taken back the cores, but after careful con$ideration and calling several golf cart battery distributors I can say that I am 100% happy with my purchase! I have ran 500ah's of agm batteries for 2 yrs before they failed and 4 Trojan 1275's for the last 4 years before they failed, the AGMs we're nice because I never had any maintenance, bad because they cost me $2.50 an ah or in my case $250 per battery for a two year run! The Trojans at 150 amp her per 12volt battery gave me 600ah, or at least that is what I should have gotten, but only about 300- 400 ah useable, that only lasted 4 years and cost me several t shirts from acid burns plus a couple gallons of distilled water per month, if I remembered to water them... I paid $230 for each 150 ah battery. The Walmart 27dc is 109ah for $81 or $100 per battery without a core. That's just under $1.00 per ah without a core! And I get a one year replacement warranty! Try taking back a battery to a golf pro shop! The Walmart battery wins hands down! If you had a problem with your batteries, take them back and get a fresh new set! It's Walmart, I can add batteries to my solar battery bank every year without worrying about mixing new and old just by using the one year warranty, and yes the batteries will degrade enough in one year to make the warranty legit!

I have had a everstart batteries for my boat still using same ones from 2017 and they still going strong.

I have been using an EverStart Maxx Marine Battery, Group Size 29DC 12 Volt, 845 CCA $100.00 with a With a 2 year guarantee.i Usually get 4 or 5 years out of them. I have never had a problem with these batteries.

That battery on 55 lb thrust will only give you 1.5 hrs of juice at max speed. For my 40lb thrust minnkota recommends 110 amp hrs group 27 battery which will give me 2.25 hrs runtime at max speed. I also run 2 humminbird fish finders off it too but they don't pull much power. To calculate battery life at max speed use this formula. Battery amp hours x .85 divided by your max amp draw to get your total runtime on full battery at max speed. So for your battery in the video it looks like this. 93 amp hrs x .85 = 79.05 ÷ by your max amp draw (yours is 52) = 1.52 hrs.

I bought 2 29dc from Walmart (marine) in 2005 back when they were yellow and they didn't give up till 2015 in my ice cream truck running 2 inverters so.....yea not sure what happened with yours.

I would never use a 24 series on a trolling motor minimum 27

I cant comment on how this battery performs with a trolling motor because I dont have a trolling motor. However I have two of these on my boat. A cranking and DC battery both group 24. I run a 700.5 JL audio amp, spreader lights, underwater lights, courtesy lights, live well and other accessories. My first set lasted over 5 years and never once left me stranded or with a dead battery. I dont have a trickle charger nor do I charge them with an external charger. I will continue to use these batteries and they are really the best bang for the buck

I had to take 2 marine deep cycle batt back 2x. Everstart Maxx marine 775 Crancking amps. It sucks.

My set of Everstart 29dc just lasted me 8 years! My onboard charger failed this past winter and the batteries drained completely. They won't hold a charge now, but I have no complaints. My previous set lasted me 7 years. These batteries are the best bang for the buck, hands-down imo. They run all day in the wind on my 20ft Fisher aluminum. P.S. They have a 2 year warranty.

ever start batteries from walmart bought in 2016 still working when we sold the boat last month, march 2021. Another boat i have also has ever start and have had them since 2017 and still working flawlessly.

I purchased 4 everstart marine batteries a year ago for a diy budget solar project. All have failed.

New to this and got a camper now This type of battery will run your tv/PS4 right?

I have two interstate batteries for my 24 volt trolling motors. When was a Minn kota maxxum and the new one is a Garmin force. I don't have any issues out of those batteries I've had those since 2018. I used to have a EverStart marine battery that I use for a think it was a 40 or 50 lb thrust trolling motor. I didn't have any issues out of it. I kept it on the triple charger and when I need the little boat I would use it. I have a Duracell deep cycle battery that I use for my electronics on my boat and I've had it since 2019 to 20 and it has a small leak or escape of battery ass on the top of it yet it still works good. I'm about to buy another EverStart marine battery for a little small boat I just bought. It's for my trolling motor and electronics. I really think batteries are just luck of the draw. Use it hard if you know if anything about it, swapped that thing out while you got a chance. Otherwise is going to work a long time. I haven't really had a battery that failed on me other than the automotive battery I got from o'reilly. I actually don't like batteries from O'Reilly's. AutoZone duralast batteries actually last a lot longer, but they're all from one of two manufacturers anyhow. So I really think that battery performance is based on how the battery is charged and discharged. I take great care to keep mine on chargers that not only charge it but condition the batteries. So I have spent a lot more money on the charger that I'm using on the battery.

I've had the opposite experience you describe with the EverStart - I've owned many, and haven't taken too great care with them (though I haven't been particularly abusive either). I usually get a solid 5+ years and they're dirt cheap. You say yours didn't last you 2 years... do you realize Walmart would have replaced it for free? Even now, you can probably get a prorated price on a new battery if you take that one back. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but I think your experience was the exception rather than the norm. I'd recommend giving EverStart another shot.

Please tell us about the warranty! Sometimes things just don't go right did they stand behind it and replace it free of charge? Need to finish the story. My car starting batter is an EverMaxx and I'm completely happy. We need to know why! Thanks for your post.

My application is different than yours as I have six of these Walmart batteries wired in parallel for my home solar system with 600 watts of solar panels on the roof. I never let them drain down more than 75% even though they are called "deep cycle" as they are still lead acid design. when solar charging the voltage is 14 volts and I never let them drain below 12.4 . These were purchased in 2017 so we are going on 3 years. I would keep a trickle charger on them when the boat is in storage so the battery is always topped off after a full charge.

I used exide batteries for 3 years and replaced them with everstsrt. I had a bank of 3 group 24 batteries wired in parallel and abused them. I ran them down below 11v many times, boiled them when my charger broke, overcharged them, undercharged them, and they kept going for 3 years. My setup is a bit refined and better maintained with the everstsrt batteries and they are 2 years old with no sign of performance loss.

I've had issues with Interstate and walmart. Right now I've got 5 months on a Walmart and it only last good for 2 hours and I have a solar trickle charge on it. I'm pusing a 12 foot jon boat. Our local almart has no way yo check them out so I take them back and exchange them. like you, still looking for a decent battery/ I've had issues with the last 3 Walmart batteries. I fish about twice a week for a bout 4 hours at time

Someone please make a video on how to properly maintain these batteries.

Have 3 everstarts on my personal boat and install everstarts on my customers boats all the time. They are made by johnson controls that brand batteries in different stores and names. Never had a complaint.

Have 2 of the same batteries but group 29. ABSOLUTELY LOVE MINE. one is 7 yrs old. The other is 10yrs.old. My Yamaha charges them to about 70%. So after each trip they are put on the charger.

I have 4 Walmart EverStart deep cycle batteries in my garage. Two are 2014, one is 2015, one is 2016.. They keep on ticking.

BS! I tell all my customers to buy the EverStart deep cycles for their boats and it's rare that any of them ever have an issue if they actually maintain them!

same problem with the 24DC. Bought it for my travel trailer house battery. keep it on a maintainer between trips. recently took it back to wal mart to have it load tested. It tested bad. It was just outside the 12 month free replacement window (by 1 month). They gave me $62 pro rated return, but I could only use it for the same model per their return policy. I'll probably keep it as a a back up, but will likely get an AGM as my primary.

Make sure the battery says for RV and marina. The best battery that Walmart has is the everstart 114ah 12 volts for $89. It comes with a year replacement warranty.

Bought two similar 29DCs earlier this year to replace DCs from Interstate... I use them to power a trolling motor.... The casing on one of the Interstate batteries had cracked making quite a mess throughout the battery compartment... The ExerStart Maxx 29DC has a two year warranty... However, after only a few months, I started getting a charging error (i.e. Red LED) on my inboard charger... Pulled the batteries to test the cells with a hydrometer and found them to be so dry that I could only such up any water at all on 1 of the 12 cells across 2 batteries... It was not near enough to test... I called Walmart and they checked the level on a couple of new 24DCs and 29DCs that they had in stock... They too were very low on water (i.e. battery acid)... This is worrying... I am going to add some distilled water and see if they will charge... Curious to see if anyone else has experienced this and if they know why they are being shipped with what appears to be minimal water...

So the battery is over 3 years oldt , how long was it supposed to last ? How long was warranty ?

I’ve been running Walmart deep cycle battery for 7-8 years. 3 of them and they last 3-4 years. Which is very good and cheap. Never have issue and it maxx is 2 years warranty.

That AH might be drained a lot for a 55 trolling motor so less cycles..also what charger do you have looking after it. I have a 130 ah battery for my 55 so it’s less drained I have a smart charger & marine battery box so I know it’s low /full

One thing I did notice is you did not buy a large capacity running time battery... 55 lb thrust motor will consume your battery really fast specially on a windy day😢

I’ve been using my everstarts for 4 years. 29DC from Wally World $97 well worth it 2 year warranty. 18 months means free replacement

I have 2 exactly like that in my fifth wheel going on 2 years full time. They are holding up however I did have one of them go bad in about a month. They replaced it no questions asked and Walmart is everywhere. They are still holding up strong.

I bought this battery for my boat. It's a jon boat and it only runs a 28# Minn Kota and a $100 lowrance. I've taken my boat out only twice with this battery I bought brand new. Both times the battery died within 2 or 3 hours on the water. I came on RU-vid to see if there's something i can do to it (like maybe it's not filled all the way or filled with the wrong stuff or something). Its been many years since I had a boat, then I only used Delco Voyager to run my bass boat that would last all day, literally. Thanx for your advice. Might just have to invest into a Delco Voyager or something more expensive with a good track record.

I have a everstart in my car for 6 years now and one in my lawn tractor over 7 years still going strong il buy again soon

Going on my 3rd year with an everstart group 27 101 amp hour battery. Running a 55 lb trolling motor, fish finder and occasionally lights. I can usually get 8 hours out of it before it goes completely dead.

I live on shores of lake erie. Thousands of boaters and allot them use Everstart. Ive used them in my boats for years and never a problem. Few years ago I switched and bought Expensive one from Napa and that only lasted little over year. Sometimes you do get bad battery. But hear allot good about Everstart. I have everstart on my RV

Everyone having success with this battery what charger or chargers are you running when the boat is not in use?

I use EverStart batteries and have never had an issue, keep the water topped off and store it indoors in the winter and will last several years. Usually have to add distilled water every year but the ones I have now are 3 1/2 years old and still run at around 75 to 80 percent.

That battery only has a year warranty so that's got to give you a clue right from the start! The other battery that I recommend highly though it cost some money, is Odyssey. They are very good batteries!!

Mine ever start trolling battery has held up great I have it on a smart charger all the time when not in use

Have had my everstart maxx 29-dc for 4 years minnkota power drive v2 works great

I've used the Everstart M-24DC in the past for trolling and just bought another. This is a marine battery but noticed the M-MAXX-24DC is advertised for trolling. M-24DC doesn't mention trolling. Is there a big difference and should I be using a "Trolling Motor" battery? Some are over $250!!!. I paid less than $80 for the M-24DC.

I've had a 14-foot flat bottom boat since 2008 and have used 4 of the same batteries with a 30lb thrust minnkota trolling motor. The batteries I've used that have lasted just over 4 years have been this one, Everstart marine/rv 27DC 750MCA 109 amp hours it's a little larger then the one in your video but I've had good service with that battery every time , my recent one and it is the same is five years old and ready for replacement and I see it still available to this day I am going to buy another thank you for reading I will say that I Ave herd Hurticane has good batteries I may look into one but it is hard to change if you have had good service using the one battery all these years .OK thank you for reading .

I replaced everstart batteries in my boat . One was over 8 years old and the other was 11 years old. My new boat has interstate batteries and they have only lasted 3 years. I fish at least once a week and use my trolling motor a lot.

I have a 24v trolling motor on my boat now, just read an article where a guy is using one everstart deep cycle but using an agm wheelchair battery for the other one to help save weight. Said it works perfect.

I have an everstart from like the 80s haha I bought used off an older man. I treat it horribly and so far it's still working after 5 years of use by me

I had that same batteries on our RV , We had good luck with them. Bought them in 2016, just replaced them. They were put on another RV and is still working. Sorry you had such a bad luck.

Were you charging this battery properly? Improper charging will shorten the life of any battery.

awesome info

Really great luck with the group size 24DC 690MCA BATTERY FROM WALMART…. They are AWESOME 😎 MY IN SERVICE DATE WAS 38 months ago and it’s still going strong.

Last set of EverStart 29 lasted 7 years . Never took them out the boat in the winter just put a charge on them once a month for a couple of hours . And my current set of EverStart 29 have lasted 4 years and still going strong .. And I have 4 of them in my boat and 2 onboard chargers ..

Sounds like you got a bad battery and it happens coild happen to any battery. Plus how do we know you took care of it?

Mine was manufactured 5/2007 and still going strong 😁

Why would you get the Maxx 24D instead of the larger Maxx 29D…especially for a trolling motor? There’s a reason why the larger group 29 is used in so many trucks. The 24 D is rated at 690 Cold cranking amps, while max 29D is pushing out 845! Always buy the biggest one you can get. Unless space is an issue. Bigger is always better in the same series of batteries.

Most deep cycle batteries only last 2 to 4 years . I had great luck with ever start batteries. About 6 years ago I replaced my trolling motor batteries . One was 7 years old and the other was 11. I knew they were old. But I was shocked to see one of them had lasted 11 years.

The wife and I just bought a new pelican bass Raider 10e with a new Minn Kota trolling motor 40 lb thrust and we got the EverStart deep cycle 27dc group. I hope it works out okay! That is what the trolling motor recommended.

I am using an everstart Marine battery on my boat right now. Sticker on the battery says 5/12 and I havent been taking care of it. It sit in the boat all winter long, rarely is charged ff the boat. it always fires strong and hasnt let me down yet. AS I type this though, Its making me nervous because that means its an 8yr old battery and that is ANCIENT in battery years. Ill have ti check which one I use, But I believe its the 24MS.

It's all about proper use and the proper charger . On a 55lb thrust go with a group 27 group 24 is too small for your application

Came to RU-vid specifically to check for comments on the Maxx Marine and RV 29DC. Found a pair at Walmart that have been there long enough that they will be charged up and tested then sold as Used with printout of their state from test. Generally sold at deep discounts. Looking to put in my motorhome for continuous use. Vented, temperature control, solar maintenance charge and preventative maintenance level checks maybe 3 times a year. Thanks.

Another good tip, remove it for the cold months, bring it indoors, and put it on a trickle charger, keeps it strong for those long winter months, check the water levels in the battery any low fill them to the bottom of the cell with distilled water. Keep it clean and dry always, this will prolong the battery life. I’m 65 and I just had many boats in my day Learning proper battery maintenance is key, keep your battery dry and clean, it’s important, starter batteries 10 amp, deep cell 2 amps, unless you want a quick charge, but not recommended, earlier this year I had to say goodbye to a old friend, after 10 years, my everstart finally died,Well like they say, nothing lasts forever. Be smart save money, but most times I see boaters who have no idea on how to maintain the batteries on their boats, they must all be rich I guess.

The problem is not the battery. The problem is your battery usage and maintenance. Anything under 12.6 volts will sulfate the plates on any battery. The lower you draw it under 12.6 v the more it sulfates losing capacity in the process. Lead acid batteries should never ever be drawn under 50% state of charge. 12.24 volts. Under 11.89 will cause damage. Get a volt meter. You have to charge it with a high amp charger right away when you get home. The longer it sits under 12.6v the harder it is to get the sulfate off. The charger needs to be At least 15 amps to knock off the sulfate and dissolve it back into solution. The charger I use is a Schumacher sc 1280. You also need to pop off the caps and check the water in the cells. Bulk charge goes almost to 16v. It will boil off some water in the process. This is normal. Replace with distilled water. Lastly. Group 24 batteries are too small to be used by themselves. If you want to use 1 battery get a group 31.

That battery is on year six without any noticeable loss in capacity on my boat. The key is with any deep cycle battery, is to remember to recharge it as soon as possible. Don’t let it sit for a week or two discharged. That’s what will kill these.

I use for starting: deka-800 cca /. Super start-800 cca / & NAPA Marine Starting Battery 800 Cca. All 24 group batteries.

I have 12 of the MAXX DC29 batteries on my house solar power system and 6 more of them on the well pump system. The ones running my well are now over 10 years old this month (May 2024) and the ones on the house solar power system are 5 years old. One of the batteries on the well started cooking off about 4 years ago and I replaced it with a newer back up battery which I keep fully charged at all times on a third (small) solar power back up system. The well batteries are all still doing fine at 10 years old. The house solar had a battery lose a cell last month at 5 years old. It was reading 10.9 volts while all the others were at 13 volts. I replaced that battery with a 2 year old back up MAXX DC29 in March and the system is reading float and morning voltages like new again. I suspect I should have no more problems with that system for another 5 years or so. I take extremely good care of my batteries and check fluid levels every spring and fill what needs it. 2 MAXX DC29's out of 18 going bad after all these years is not a bad deal breaker for me. I have had the Trojan batteries in the past that lasted about 8 years before cooking off and they are extremely expensive now. DC29's are at this time the cheapest and best Deep Cycles for solar in my opinion. I just bought a new one today to replace the one I removed from the house power system last month to go on the back up power system with the other back up battery. I take these ones camping, for the portable camping solar power system.

I’m running 3 of them for 36v ghost trolling motor . I can run it all day with spot lock , two days and not even dent them 😅 they are just heavy

If that battery dropped below 50% (i.e. you hadn’t taken your boat out in awhile and used the trolling motor) and you forgot to charge it or put it on a trickle charge the cells died. Marine deep cycle batteries have to be charged after every use or at least it’s good too.

I have 2 of these in my trailer. Both are 101ah hooked in parellel to an inverter, been using them about a year and still seem to be OK.

That's interesting that you had such bad luck. I bought 4 of these Everstart Maxx deep cycle batteries 9 years ago for my 19 foot Starcraft Fishmaster aluminum boat. I've only had to replace one of them just last season. It was one of the 2 engine starting batteries that were the 24 size deep cycle/starting that also runs my fish finder and stereo. The other 2 were group 27, and I use these for my Minkota power drive 55 bow mount electric trolling motors. I'm still using those two, and one of the original group 24 batteries. I've also used these batteries for years in my travel trailer with excellent service life. My newer RV came with Interstate batteries that I'm now replacing after 6 seasons of camping. I've had roughly the same kind of longevity with both of these brands. I've never had poor service life from any of the Everstart Maxx batteries in my boat, RV, or any of my other vehicles whether they are standard automotive batteries or the deep cycle batteries in my boat or RVs.

I have 8 Everstart marine batteries and they are great. Pretty much all batteries now are made by Johnson Controls, so you don't get much change from one brand to the next.

Got this same battery in 2017, it still works.

A little confused on your comment made in the video @ about 2:00, January 2016 - June 2019 (so about 3.5 yrs old) but it had only lasted 1 year? Maybe you didn't start using it until 2018 and it conked out in 2019 because it had been sitting around without being on a tender for 2 yrs or so??? I know I bought at least one EverStart Marine 27DC 800 MCA in July 2017 for my trolling motor (strong). The other, just went bad this past weekend in April 2021, has a B6 sticker on it (that translates to February 2006). That would be an incredible 15 yrs old!!! I really wish I could remember if that was accurate or more likely if that's a sticker error and should read B"16" (Feb. 2016), but either way gives you an idea that for cheap batteries, they are worth it. And I think it only went bad because I let the water get low. I put distilled water in it and trickle charged it, and now it seems to be holding a charge last 24hrs. Might be taking the new one I bought back! Recommend putting these on a battery tender and checking the water twice a year and they are worth it! Sorry, long comment I know.

I could be wrong but I don't think this is not a AGM battery. AGM batteries are sealed. Looks to me that this is a regular led (auto) battery maybe they put the wrong label on it.. I have AGM group 27 batteries. They will take a deep discharge. I left one out by mistake in -20 for a few weeks. Charged it up. After 2 weeks indoors it was showing 12.66 volts.

It really depends on what the battery was used for. I run a 27DC on my trolling motor with no problems. I can get 4 years out of one and I go fishing weekly year round.

I bought mine at NAPA and it's a 24DC and was $120 with the core charge. Works and cycles well. I used it for my pop up camper.

Got about 5 months from mine on a 140w solar system. Just failed completely tonight. Seems like internal short.

I use them for 700W solar system, I have some everstart since 2009 and they are good, for small solar systems are highly recommended for botes don't work the same, I bought one more 2021 only because I order more solar panels, my experience with this brand ( everstart, 27 dc 750)was excellent.

24 dc is not big enough for most all trolling motors 27dc is smallest recommend size . I use a 29dc as 27dc was recommended for my minn kota c2-40 40lb thrust battery is 2 years old and still getting it done get about 4 hrs + or- on conditions . Charge at 10amps and trickle when not in use for long periods. Check water levels in cells should be to top of slit on side down inside about half way . Proper maintenance is key . Also there are better batteries yes you pay for what you get 250 + for a good one.

I use the EverStart battery as my primary Deep Cycle, and it has been working fine for 2 years and counting.

Majority of reviews for this battery are great. Better than most other brands from what I've seen.

Ive had nothing but good luck with mine, just replaced a set of everstarts that lasted 7 years, although, i used them frequently and always kept the boat plugged in while not in use.

I recomend the same battery you got with a different opperator. That battery is awesome go see how much another 100 amp hour battery will cost you...

Hi. Why does it say 24Dc if it's a 12 v battery?

Let's not hate on people's ideas let's just correct.. with factful information😊

Had the same battery that I use for my 55lbs thrust trolling motor battery for 5 years been good just switched to a 29 DC battery hopefully it works as long as the 24 DC did. My opinion is it's a pretty good battery for the money. Hope this helps god bless.
