Best feeder battery

[270Sendero]

What is the best 12v feeder battery y’all have found? I’m running an ASF feeder with a standard 12v 1.7 watt solar panel.
I usually get 1.5-2 years out of a mighty max battery. Just wondering if there was something better

I prefer the blue top power sonic.

Been using the all season batteries or the power sonic and normally get 4-5 years.

You are correct on this. They have done better than most I have had.

tried them all. Blue tops are the best.

The cheap ones from Bucee’s are lasting me ~5 years. Only upgraded out of precaution, never had an issue. Rotate the older ones out for back up.

Agree. buy Cheap ones and swap out every two year.....

Buccees batteries here. I’m getting several years out of them.

This is what I use. Will last forever compared to lead acid batteries and will tolerate complete discharge much better than SLA.

No problems with cold temps? I got a similar one that died with the first hard freeze.

I have used and liked the blue top batteries in the past but its just too easy to grab a few at Bucees for the price when I am getting corn, fuel and ice with one in town here. Have had great luck with them as well....

Nothing so far. Lithium will discharge down to 0 degrees, just won’t charge below 32. That shouldn’t be a problem too often in Texas since it’s usually north of freezing when the sun is shining.

But definitely a valid concern. Might be a better option for shaded areas where you can’t get a solar charge to work

For all of them you'll get a lot more mileage out of them if you use a real solar charger and a 5W panel. Summers with a solar and no solar controller is brutal on batteries, they basically get cooked. The controllers are pretty cheap, $25ish on amazon.
