Found a Duracell battery at Sam's Club, group 34 with positive post on left, 800 CCA,
and the same dimensions as the OEM battery. $102
Bunny, is there a Sam’s club number or Duracell Number?

Haha my phone changed Vinny to Bunny, sorry!
i think it’s this one, but what’s the difference with the AGM? Is it better to go AGM,
I have LEDs, light bars and winch.

Not an expert but I believe the AGM batteries are top of the line. I just didn't want to pay the extra $$$$. For what I'll be doing, this one should be fine. It's much better than what came out.? The one you have circled is the correct battery.
Good luck.

AGM Means Adsorbed Glass Mat. Meaning, there isn't any battery acid or water shifting around, and there aren't any hard lead plates to break from Vibration or off road bouncing, and they also don't have freezing problems in the winter. They are better in every way, except for the price.

If that ain't the truth, I know a lot of people with off road, muscle cars, ect love the Optima Red, Yellow and Blue Series batteries for this reason, but I don't love the $$$tag.

I replaced the stock Motorcraft batteries in my current service truck 4 months after I got it. The batteries failed, were replaced under warranty, and they failed again. Even just driving on dirt roads with a firm suspension they were shitting the bed.

Battery on my Roxor is getting weak, cranks slow and if my heater is running and I turn on the lights the speed/pitch changes on the fan. Great thread and lots of good info, thanks.

Well, I have jump started mine the last 6 days...... I emailed Zia Powersports in Clovis, NM (where I purchased it) and am waiting for a reply. This is a real pisser. No way I'm taking the Roxor off on a hunting trip just to get stranded.
