Re: First AGM Died

Hi John,

I just purchased the Cabela AGM battery, It was on special for $129... I had also looked into the interstate AGM but they were twice the price of the Cabela. I was replacing a 8 year old AGM from west marine that came with the boat.

Let us know what U pick & Catch em up!

Cheers
