    Best Deep Cell Marine Batteries

    As the OP didn't say what they being hooked up to, I would say a Flooded Cell Battery would be the safest choice. Costco has a few Marine Batteries, but it appears that they some kind of Hybred Starting/Deep Cycle. However Costco has a replacement Policy that is hard to beat
