What does everyone used for a boat battery to cause such problems?

Interstate Dual Purpose Marine batteries have served my needs for decades! Extremely reliable. So much so, I replaced the batteries in my auto and truck with same battery I used in the boat!
It’s called piece of mind...being prepared without having to rely on “seems like someone might help me out” if the dreaded dead battery situation arises at a time when no boat motor could be life threatening. Simple, really.

Not to mention it's practically impossible to predict a battery's end of life. In fact, last fall, when the temps changed quickly within a few days, my Escape battery--only four years old--crapped out without a warning.

For $50-60, it's cheap insurance while also being able to charge phones, etc. in an outage, on bus trips, camping, etc.
