The price of a battery is closely related to the current the battery can
provide.  A group 41 is a starting battery.  Add to that the cheap side.
You now have a battery that will drain down rapidly and will recharge
relatively few times.  Starting batteries are not designed to be drained
below about 11.5 volts repeatedly. If you are going to use a group 41 get a
good quality one that will survive some abuse.
