Anybody run Northern batteries? I am going to put new batteries in my boat and their store is located near my work. Much more convenient than an Interstate store. However I want good batteries.

That’s what the dealer put in my 2020 1875 Pro Guide. Time will tell.

Fished all day Sunday on Mille Lacs with the wind and never ran out of Battery. They get my 100% approval. Bought them off Amazon free shipping.
June 17, 2020 at 10:24 am #1950722I believe they are made by Johnson Controls so they are essentially the same as an Interstate or Die Hard, also Optima batteries are from the same family. Interstate batteries actually could be either a Johnson or Exide depending on model and where you buy it.
There are only two manufacturers who produce the vast majority of batteries here in the usa.

what you have posted here is a Northstar battery. Is this the same as the Northern Battery he is asking about? The Nortstar AGM batteries are some of the best. You pay for it too. Virgin lead not recycled lead. Brass terminals. Have 4 of them in my boat.

Those are not the same.Northern is a re-stickered JC product,and NorthStar makes their own.Probably the best AGM battery you can get,and Odyssey as second.Would not even consider Optima these days.
