Battery choices for GX470 North Idaho

[Two Sheds]

Does anyone have any tips on locating an AGM group 27F for a reasonable price In the Hayden/CDA region? I’m interested in the OPTIMA Yellow top 27F. Due to its ability to handle adding accessories in the future (ie.-lights, chargers and a winch eventually. Without have to Go to a Dual Batt. Set up. I can’t seem to find anything like that for under $350 ish. Any input or tips would really be appreciated

If your going to put out the money for the Optima, step up to the Odyssey.
The lesser AGMs don't run pure lead in the plates. This makes them cheaper and not have the same lifespan. With that said, I have run the cheaper AGMs for several years without issue. I've run AGM's since they came out. I will get a solid 5 years on a cheaper one and 7-10 on an Odyssey. Right now the Cranking battery in my Cruiser is one of the lesser ones. Don't remember the name off the top of my head but I'm thinking it's an AC Delco.

AGM batteries have been victims of our recent inflation. The Northstar 27F I bought in September of 2020 for about $330 is now (in its current Odyssey branding) $467.
