Just thought I would add that I looked for quite a while to find the
deep-cycle group 27 battery with the highest rated reserve capacity.  It
turned out to be the Die Hard Gold, which is rated 210 minutes reserve
capacity.  I also bought a Motocraft deep cycle, rated at 150 mins.  That
one I bought cause it was cheap, at $49.  Both of them together have
served me fairly well, compared to other deep cycles I have owned.  They
are getting near two years old now, and starting to weaken (they ran down
a little faster at Red Rock than they used to).
