Spring is almost here, looking for a NEW BOAT BATTERY? Here is where NOT to look! I purchased a battery from Interstate for my boat. Due to mechanical issues, see post on XP150 by Dobroplayer, this battery was kept inside my house and regularly maintained with the same charger Interstate sells and recommends. After the boat was on the water 3 times last year, their Marine battery was found to be failed. I returned the battery to this morning to Interstate for some sort of replacement and only to find the battery was only good for $20 off another battery just like this one. (I don't think I want another one like this one). The service person at Interstate admitted the failure was not due to my treatment or neglect and was an internal failure.
My opinion.....if something fails due to neglect or misuse, that is one thing. If it fails due to workmanship or materials that is another! So you want a battery for your...whatever, Interstate is NOT the place to buy one. Their customer service is just a joke also. I don't know why they even have one......
Let them put these pieces of junk in the nascar cars..... at least when the battery quits, they can get out an walk..LOL!
