Battery Brand Recommendation?

[dcm0123]

My battery is a few years old (not sure of exact date). Had a problem cranking 2005 RXT 215 when hot so I am looking for another.
Battery is a Deka ETX30L 400CCA which is now $170 at Amazon delivered.

An alternative is the Weize YTX-30L-BS brand battery which has same CCA rating and is $75 at Amazon.
Both are factory sealed AGM batteries.

On Amazon the Weize reviews are 2x the Deka so I presume the sales are also 2X.

Any recommendations on brands?

I use Interstate batteries.

Went to Walmart and the battery they sell under their name looks identical to the Deka, same cast terminals, stickers on t.he top, 400CCA rating printed on the sticker.
Price is $110- $60 less than Amazon.
Found date on mine of 8/17. Time to change it out.

I think most big box store batteries are pretty similar (Wal-mart, Oreilly, Autozone, Advanced, etc.) I've had batteries from just about all of them and most are of pretty good quality if maintained.

Most are made by either Johnson Controls or East Penn.

Just make sure it’s a spill proof, sealed AGM that is specifically designed for marine use and make sure it fits perfectly.
