I have a dual battery system. Over this winter, one ran low in a couple of cells and its now junk. I do trickle charge them all winter, and I got 10 years (YES 10 years our of both of them). They are the huge group (forget the number).

Anyway, since one is bad, I'm going to replace both. Been doing some online research and it looks like the blue-top Optimas are a favorite. Exide also makes a nice similar battery. They are dual purpose, starting and extended use.

These are both sealed high tech design with about 800 cca.

What do you think, any experience with these types?
What do you use?
