Years ago, I checked the prices of marine batteries at
Walmart. There were two, and about ten bucks price
difference. I glanced into the manual that was chained to
the stand. Turns out the amp hour ratings were very much
different. I dn't remember the numbers, but I am thinking
maybe 60 amp hours, and 115 amp hours. It was a big
difference. And well worth the extra ten bucks. Worth
looking, if you buy a marine battery.

Otheres have mentioned there are starting, dual, and
trolling (deep discharge). The deep discharge is needed in
this case. Please do not leave the battery hooked to a
Harbor Freight Float charger. I did, and it killed my
battery.

Something to consider ..........

I have battery boxes that have exterior terminals, 1/4"
plug-ins, cigarette
lighter plug-ins, and a meter on the outside to tell you how
much juice is
in the battery. Don't remember where I got them, but they
ARE available.
Probably a boat supply house. Shop around.

Second consideration .......... get two 6v. batteries and
hook together.
They have thicker plates, weigh more, take
charging/discharging for many
more cycles than regular batteries, are about the same
price, but more
importantly, give you MUCH more amp hours on a charge.
