Product Review Of The Interstate SRM-29—Are These SRM Batteries Even AGM?


First off, let us waste no quarry and head to some of the “perks” and “goods” that the SRM-29 of Interstate can bring forth to your marine and boat activities:

Like a lot of Interstate SRM models, you get a 12 by way of months warranty to the bank to assure your concerns.
You get a heavy-duty (as in 60 lbs. heavy!) of good structure and design that can protect the internal space of the battery from external damage as well as temperature control.
It possesses one of the higher CCA ranking/ratings with 670 amps to ‘cold crank’ your boat batteries.
It possesses one of the higher RC ratings with over 210 (minutes!) to help you continue running your appliances/applications while in the water.
And yes, you get the assurance (as with other top brands out there), that this product uses an AGM model to keep the internal vibration resistance low and thus, keep the temperature in control just as well.

And, while this is a most personal and subjective type of measurement, the budget is reasonable enough if your expertise borders more on its immediate uses and it will most likely serve you well because of this regard.

By that way, you also get an indirect control of internal resistance and heat, which can mean all but signs of “doom” for a marine battery in the long-run as it interferes with its “deep cycling” function” through sulfate buildup.

How Long Do These Interstate SRM-29 Deep Cycle Batteries “Last”?

The answer for this is in measurement by way of minutes, as in the reservation of capacity (RC) that is part of the performance metrics of the battery in question.
