Hi all, I don't know anything about deep cycle marine batteries but I need two for a new boat I bought, one for the 40HP Mercury engine and another for the trolling motor. I am looking at two different brands and wanted to know which one you think is better. They both are the same price. $89.00

Exide: Nautilus

730 MCA

160 Min Reserve

Or

Sears DieHard

575 Cold cranking amps

180 minute reserve.

Thank You,  I appreciate your advice.

Exide for 40h/p motor has more cold cranking amps the Sears for T/M more m/r amps IMHO Interstate makes a much better battery. Good Luck

I'll agree with tennwalkinghorse. Go Interstate for the money. Sears batteries don't live up to their commercials and I haven't heard a lot about Exide. I have used Interstate for years and have had pretty good luck with them.
