Glen,

Atomic is still around just north of 167.
I think it has been renamed but they are still in business.

I've been reading posts on other fishing forums and have been considering those offered at Wally world, the price is reasonable, and they have a warranty. There is also a Wally world close to every bass lake.

Costco has deep cycle Marine batteries for around $50-$60.  Pretty sure those are readily available at most stores.  I purchased one in Federal Way and I am using it as a starting battery.  You'd be amazed at how well a new battery works compared to a dead one... the boat actually starts now!  I have friends using the Kirkland signature for 3 or 4 years now without any issues.

All I use on my boat is a trolling motor so a good battery is important.  I will only by maint. free batteries now after ruining a lot of clothes due to spills, plus they are easier.  Orbital deep cycles are good - lasted about 3 yrs and still going as a back-up.  But I just picked up a Optima bc they have a larger Reserve capacity - costs about $200 w/ tax at costco - works well, but I have only had it for a little while.

Never had any problems with my maintenance-free AC Delcos.  Had them for 5 years now with not one single issue. Yes, 5 years.

The only reason I want to replace them is because, well... it's been 5 years.  I don't want to push it any further.  They're still working great, but I think I'm pushing the limit.

Since these lasted so long and performed so well, I have no ambitions to try anything else.  Not when my wife is on board every time.

If Costco´s Kirkland marine batteries are as good as their automobile batteries, they should be considered.
My car is being runing on one for the last eight years.
