As mentioned in the archives a while back, Al @ Arc Battery in Sausalito has
been supplying me with a deep cycle battery that fits in the aux battery
compartment under the driver seat. Here are the specs:

78 AH
125 min. reserve
850CCA
650 rating
Size group 41
Heavy density oxide plates and mats

Not available in most places for some reason, but he can ship them dry if
you want.
