The Trojan T105-AES is a 6-volt AGM deep-cycle battery in the GC2 size. It is rated at 240 Ah at the 20-hour rate and 529 minutes at 25 amps, and it measures 10.30 inches long and 10.73 inches tall. It weighs 89 pounds. Trojan validated it at 1,200 cycles at 100% depth of discharge. The case is non-spillable and can be mounted horizontally, and it takes an existing AGM charger and profiles. A three-year warranty backs it.

Our take

At 89 pounds, the T105-AES is a heavy battery to carry and fit, which makes its non-spillable case, allowed to be mounted horizontally, useful where the space is awkward.

From our buying guide

A starting battery delivers a short burst of strong power, a deep-cycle battery a low, steady level for longer, and a dual-purpose battery a balance of the two. Buy for the job it will do.

Check before you buy:

  • You've measured the tray against the maker's real dimensions, since a BCI group gives maximum sizes and some batteries sold as a drop-in run longer.
  • You're comparing the same rating. Cold cranking amps are tested at 0°F and cranking amps at 32°F, so the second number is higher.
  • If it's lithium, the maker says whether it may start an engine, and NMMA advises contacting your boat's manufacturer or a certified technician before replacing lead-acid.
