Deep Cycle Batteries

[Birdie2000]

Need a new deep cycle battery for the winch on our car trailer. It obviously doesn't need starting capability, so probably a marine deep cycle, but reliability and reserve capacity are the biggest factors. Long warranty would be a huge plus too (would rather not get a battery that isn't going to last at least a few years). So what brands have you guys had good luck with? Needs to be available in group 24 sizing. And before anyone mentions it, I'm not buying an Optima Blue Top. :lol:

i was gonna get a yellow top in my car. I'd like to see if there is anything better than that also.

You should look through mudding forums. things that require alot of usage and juice. Rock climbing could be good too.

Or something of that nature.

Just to be clear, I don't want a "starting" battery that's also classified as a deep cycle like a Yellow Top is. I want basically a marine battery (like a Blue Top) that has a huge reserve and can be deeply discharged more times.

I will not buy Optima any more though. Have had terrible luck with them and it completely does not justify the cost.

i am an authorized dealer for VMAX charge tanks which is a deep cycle battery,they are not cheap and ive never had a problem with them, we recommend them for high wattage stereo systems they range from $129- $700
