I got the p-1 group 34. i personally recommend getting the normal one over the marine because it has a longer warranty than the marine. same battery, the marine just has extra terminals on it to put auxiliary stuff on it. but i have lots of auxiliary stuff to mine just being the normal battery and it works great.

thanks for the info, when you say the normal one are you talking about the non-marine one?

The specifications for a Diehard Platinum is as follows:
Cost $214.00
880 CCA
135 RA
68 AH @ 20
48 month warranty with a 100 month pro rated
The specifications for the Diehard Platinum Marine is:
Cost $274.00 (now on sale at $247.00)
1150 CCA
205 RA
100 AH @ 20
36 month warranty

If you are just using it as a starting battery the Diehard Platinum will fit the bill. If you have some lights and a custom stero system it will still fit the bill. If however you are going to be using it as a deep cycle the marine would be the better choice.

those specs are correct, but that marine you listed is a different size, it is a group 31m.
I don't know if that one will fit, but the marine that I know for sure that will fit is the marine 34m, the same battery that has the specs above with 880 cca. That is probably the one you want if you are going with the marine if the other one won't fit. The 34m is one sale too 193.00.
