Interstate batteries has earned a bad reputation around here it seems. My 2013 Eyra with 250 ProXS (HDS-12 Gen II Touch, HDS-9 Gen II Touch, Motorguide TR-82, no poles) came with a Interstate 24M-XHD cranking battery and 2 Interstate SRM-29 deep cycles. This past winter I noticed the starting battery seemed a little weaker than it should have been, so even though it never failed, I replaced it last week with a Interstate 27M-XHD. Since I was in there anyway I replaced the trolling motor batteries with SRM-29s. Prior to this new boat I was a Trojan man but since I had had good service (3 years) out of these Interstates I went back with Interstates and replaced all 3 for less than $500. Could not do that with the Trojans. Ill report back in three years, good Lord willing.RobertBassCatSC
