Tom,
 
This issue was discussed at length approx. a month ago and the conclusion
seemed to be that Odyssey batteries seemed to be a consensus choice as
reliable, robust, durable, even though a little pricey.  A number of other
sealed batteries were referenced but it seems if you're willing to spend the
bucks, Odyssey is an excellent choice.  Do a Google search for Odyssey and
you'll come up with info and distributors.

Any thoughts on the best batteries to you can buy?  Primary and backup?
 
I think a deep cycle is best for a backup battery since it is made to run
over a period of time with a steady drain.
 
For the primary battery you want strong cranking amps.
 
Any thoughts on brands?  Or models?
