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).
