VMAX Batteries ???

I have used the Large (group 31?) Walmart batteries for years with excellent results. ($100 each?) House (deep cycle) and start (Yanmar) in boat. My Diesel tractor starts below zero and in 90 degree heat. I replaced the boat batteries last year based on time. When I took them out the receipts showed 10 years. I am not generally the type of guy that uses anything but OEM stuff after 40 years in the Automotive service business. And I am definitely not a lover of Walmart but...... No complaints at all.

Well damn. I just did a google search of Vmax batteries and they seem to reate very highly...at least for their AGM batteries. If you got AGM GRP31s for $100 I am gonna go buy every single one I can find!!! Anyway, I may have found my next set of batteries......when it comes time to buy. I have 4.5 years on my current set and they have shown no signs of dying anytime soon.

Edit: I just shopped the GRP31 Vmax AGM on Amazon and it is $279. Still not bad for a premium battery but a lot more than $100!

I have a feeling I may be facing battery replacement soon. Have 2 x 4Ds as house and another 4D as engine start. The price for brand name 4Ds such as Lifeline and Trojan is pretty steep. Walmart sells a brand I am unfamiliar with, called VMAX - a lot less expensive.

There are lots of ways to skin a house or start bank... without using the 4D word. Lots of threads about options, if you're interested, and if your battery area allows...

I agree Chris. There is a lot to be said for 6v GC batteries, for example. But I don't want to go through the hassle of changing the wiring, new battery boxes, etc.
