What Brand Battery For 314-8?

[hotajax 245]

I been getting Interstates at the Costco for quite a while.  I get between 2 1/2 - 3 years out of each one.  Typically the battery sits fat. dumb, and happy from December 1 to April 1.  Sometimes I charge it up if I can remember to.  What brand do you like for long battery life?  Thanks.

Brand doesn't matter much, I use batteries made by East Penn which are sold under various brand names.  If you care at all about battery life they must be kept fully charged using a quality small charger.  I use Battery Tender brand chargers and charge 2 or 3 days per month and get about 6 to 8 years from each battery.

 

You didn't read the heading in this topic, it is for battery powered tractors.

I have had decent success with the ones from TSC. And NAPA. The ones not in use during the winter (Power washer, project tractor, etc.) spend that time in the basement.

You''re right.  I didn't pay attention to the battery powered piece.
