Will be needing two new batteries this season. Anyone have any experience with Cabela's AGM batteries- I'll need two group 24's and their's are reasonably priced and have more mca and cca's than most others I've checked. Thanks

I've had good experience with them starting in 2003. I just ordered two replacements yesterday. They are on sale and standard shipping is free until 3/9 (still have to pay the extra charge though)

FYI, the 24's are $20 cheaper and practically the same capacities as the 27's

yes, the sale and free shipping is exactly why I thought I'd give them a try. Also, just found out my marina service dept. two years ago had installed batteries which were way underpowered- 620 mca & 440 cca when Optimax requires 1000 mca and 750 cca- yeah, we just had a "nice" conversation- I should have known you have to check EVERYTHING

I need a Group 24 for a Yamaha F60, 15 Whaler, minimal electronics, and a bilge pump. Designing a tilting center console with fixed fuel cell below, a shelf that will tilt with the console, and yes, a battery above. (I know, I know, I'm a fireman). I hear that a tractor battery should suffice but I like power. The Jersey Speed Skiffs have been bouncing them around for a few years now, on their sides! One day to order? Is this the deal I've been looking for? Thanks. Vezo, Part II.
