TA Terry sez:
"go to any Costco or Autozone and buy yourself a red top Optima battery...."
It had occurred to digitaldon to suggest this to the list, but wasn't sure
it would fly, especially past the O.P. These are spiral wound absorbed
glass mat (AGM), and are the cutting edge storage battery technology, and
just beat anything out there, including gel cell, for any automotive,
marine, golf cart, U name it, application. Red tops are starting, and
yellow tops combined starting/deep cycle. digitaldon is running a red top
in a Miata, and a yellow top in a Honda Civic. These will shortly inhabit
7993 and a couple or three wood boats.

For what it's worth, Ferrari uses Optima RedTops.

I have had a red top in my TC for 7 years. Starts every time and keeps
the 50 watt halogens lit at night.
