  Any recommendations on batteries?  I like sealed units. =20

  =20

  I want a primary battery for starting and the usual ... what do you =
think is the best with a 60 amp alternator and 12 volt system?

  =20

  Next, I want a back-up battery ... aren't deep cycle best for these =
applications?  Deep cycles aren't made for starting but they have "long =
staying" power.=20

  =20

  Any thoughts?
