    I suggest that you try to get some recent battery comparisons because batteries are definitely not created equal. I would stay far, far away from those Duracell AGM’s. I have had 12 of them in the last 4 years and they all failed inexplicably prematurely. That’s not counting the replacements. I got some from Sam’s and some from Batteries + both honored their warranties. Cold weather doomed them and I had them on the charger during below freezing weather. I replaced my starting battery with an X2 AGM from Batteries + and it has been a really good battery. I would have opted for something lithium but could not justify the costs for my occasional usage. I did, however, go all in on my starting battery. Were I to do it again, I think I would go lead acid from Interstate for my trolling motor but definitely never more for Duracell.
