Has anyone ever used one of their marine batteries. They seem to have very competitive prices. The name on them is Extreme. I've never heard of them before. I'm also wondering is there a big difference in buying batteries form say Sams or Costco versus say Interstate or West Marine. Are all lead acid batteries of the same types basically the same form different manufacturers?

I typically buy my batteries from Interstate simply because it is easy to get the size I want and there is a local dealer, but I use 6V lead acid batteries not some of the newer gel batteries. I have not had any problems, and have seen very good life out of the batteries I get.
