If you want a stock appearing battery I don't know. I run an Optima Yellow top, which is a deep cycle bat. Mine sits for long periods of time. Have had it now for a couple of years and starts up every time.

I run 2 deep cycle marine batteries and use a marine battery switch to control the setup. I can have only Batt 1, only Batt 2, Both Batts 1 & 2, or totally off.

Odyssey and Deka are highly regarded.

Kinetic and XS are two more top, but lesser known brands.

Ive had more good luck than bad with Optima's, once I switched away from the red tops over to the yellow and blue tops.
