I am thinking about buying a blue top marine deep cycle for a extra battery for the Truck Camper and also use it in the boat when I am not camping. Anyone have good luck with this battery?
OPTIMA batteries are great batteries for slamming over ruts or logs or rocks or waves or other "Send for your kidneys later" activities. (Can't recall if that line was Bob Hope or Phillis Diller, they were in so many movies together).
But if what you want to do is store power.. The OPTIMA has only about 60% of the capacity of the self same size AGM battery,, also 60% of the weight.
This is why I never recommend Optima unless.. See first paragraph.
