Ambulance batteries

[MidwestOverlanders]

Any recommendation for ambulance batteries? I'm in need of a new pair for my 1991 F350 Type 1. Does battery matter or will any battery meeting F350 specs do the job?

Thanks

Starting batteries only or are they going to be also used for house use too?

I'm running Kirkland Lead Acid batteries that are factory spec for an E350 Diesel... using same for the house since the Marine Batteries only lasted a year. Deep Cycles don't seem to like a 215amp alternator. Starting batteries seem to work as well and have a 3 year frre replacement warranty vs 1 year.

I wanted to get mine in quick so I grab a tape measure and ran to Autozone. I bought the 2 largest deep cycle batteries that would fit in the house battery tray. I think they are 950CCA. When I have them switched on and turn the engine over to start, the starter sounds almost like a turbine it cranks so fast.......

I'm familiar... I've got 950 cca x 4. Normally x2 but then when you hit the sure start, all 4 are engaged.
