I thank you all for your opinions and information. I guess I will pick up a new deep cycle at Wal Mart for $70. They are close by and as stated have a good warranty for the price.. A simular Diehard battery at Kmart was $120.00 and only had a one year warranty, verses Walmarts 2 0r 3 year warranty.

Hi tiogaarrow,
If there is room for two they will give even better service--provided they are wired in a balanced manner. Have a look here:
correctly interconnecting multiple batteries

That is a post worth noting. I never really knew there could be that much difference in wiring multiple batteries. Thanks Piano.

I have used two WalMart batteries for over two years with no problem. Just take care of them and keep them charged while in storage. They will do OK.
