I am in the market for 2 new deep-cycle batteries. I was at the battery store today and one of the cheaper brands said the reserve capacity was 220. The Optima was a 160 capacity and was still 70 dollars more. Am I missing something here or are there different amp. draws for their advertized reserve amount? If you can chime in and tell me what brand you have run and what kind of results you had it would be great. I just want to justify to Santa Clause why Optima is better providing he is willing to get me these batteries. I need the longest running battery for running a trolling motor that is a Motor Guide that is a 12/24 volt. Thanks in advance
