That One Guy
Adventurer
Well, I've finished, decided on a battery seperator and inverter, and now need to decide on a battery. I know I need a deep cycle marine battery and I'm thinking Optima Blue Top. D27M, 34M, D34M, or D31M? Experiences?
My shop teacher told me today that I should use 2 AGM batteries, and not marine batteries. He said Red Tops would be fine or to even just go down to the local battery shop and ask for blemished AGM's. Said he got his for 25 ea. Is this an okay idea? I'm looking for the cheapest way to have the longest amount of non charging usage. I won't use any more than 2 12 volt batteries, and I will mount them on my roof rack.
After 8 hours straight of research last night, I'm not as much of a battery/wiring noob as I was, but still am a noob. I made 3 battery trays today to hold down my main battery and my aux battery(s).
