Best type 31 battery?
Ok before the optima cheerleaders come in, I'm going to throw in a curveball. What's the best type 31 battery for deep cycle only, with amp-hours being 95% of the buying factor.
Also, I noticed theres two different optima 31's, yet the specs are all the same?

I just put in 4 Interstate ECL batteries for under $400 - the ECL stands for Extreme Cycle Life 8) . http://www.interstatebatteries.com/w.../tech_talk.htm

I have always used Interstate MHD batteries (Mega Heavy Duty) in fire trucks which is what I used to do for a living. They take some pretty good abuse.
I don't really care for Optimas, they are kind of expensive and I don't really care if the battery in my truck works when upside down anyway Birken

Here's a good FAQ:
