Big Momma was made in Shreveport at one time at the Exide Technologies Plant
EXIDE TECHNOLOGIES, 6901 WESTPORT AVE. SHREVEPORT, LA
Now I don't know who was marketing the battery or if they use a different mfg now.

The battery distributor who we bought from sold batteries from this plant and all they did was change tags on the them for the retail client.
We used the batteries for our equipment only and the batteries would have different tags I guess depending on what they had instock.

The Big Momma (trolling battery) and Red Hot Momma (was cranking battery) looked like an Exide Battery except I paid $20 less for the equivalent battery at Academy or Wal-mart.
They lasted about 3 years and for the price I couldn't complain.

If anyone is thinking of using an onboard charger [for 2 batteries] I have a brand new [still in the box] Duel Pro for sale and just reduced the price.

Just plug it in and the batteries will be ready for your next fishing trip.

yall might wanna check out XS Power. I'm thinking about getting one of there D series batteries to replace the two batteries in my truck.

By the way you can get these batteries at a much cheaper cost than the MSRP on the site. The battery I was looking at is a D2700 which retails for 499, but I talked to a guy at XS who put me on his retailer and I can get the battery for 339 shipped to my door with the lug kit. yeah still expensive but from what I've read and who I've talked to they seem to be the cats meow.
