Aux batteries; better/worse types?
This discussion about hooking up dual batteries to have an auxilliary has me wondering if there's such a thing as a battery that's better or worse for that kind of use. I kind of thought that repeatedly draining a battery a lot and recharging it is one of the things that can shorten their lifespan.

use an optima deep cycle. probably a yellow top. thats what a lot of the guys i used to 4 wheel with used. they could run them dry with winches repeatedly and they kept recharging. kinda expensive tho. a lot of people in four wheel drive mags use them as well. they a guaranteed not to spill acid in any position as well!!!

I liked the one I got at NAPA. Same type of battery. It worked great on my Scout with the snow plow. I think it was $109 when I got it.
