talk to a local battery company, the batteries in my truck were just shy of 50 bucks each for large group 31's also if you do have issues with it the company is local and they often give you a warrenty on them

Well, I've been emailing a local guy about Deka batteries but I have no idea what type I would need. I've heard I should go deep cycle, sealed batteries. He has some deka Intimidators but they're like $140. Now if I can use a regular group 31 (not sure what that means exactly) then I would go ahead and possibly get one from him. But yeah, sealed & deep cycle. Yes? Or is there any other kind I could use which doesn't give off fumes?

Edit: Name brand soean't matter much as long as the quality and dependability is there.

some local company's make same batteries as brand name one's. why pay for brand name, when you can get same thing for $100-$200 less. btw, i dont mean all company's.

tell them you want a sealed group 31 battery, i had 3 batteries before C&D technologies, similar to a hc 1400 or something around that range, my voltage now is a ton better with my 2 group 31's than ever with the others.
