I have a Universal Battery sealed deep cycle for my coach battery and a "who
knows" battery for the main.  I bought a trickle charger at Wal-Mart for
around $10 and have it plugged into an inverter that runs off my coach
battery.  The coach battery is solar charged, so this way, I can use free
solar energy to keep both batteries up to snuff.  So far no problems....
