What Batteries do Ya'll use?

Any brand preference? More CCA's better?Deep Cycles?
I've never had a 24Volt vehicle before(2-12volt in series)
I have had Dual Battery set-ups with Isolaters for Inverters.Anyone use these on their 715? :?:

If you can shell out for them, nothing beats the Yellow Top Optimas. But they're pricey.

I've never tried the Yellow Top. I put an Optima Red Top in my 66K20 two years ago and hot, cold, weeks between starts and lots of winching have never led to a non start or ever a slow start. I am going to convert all of my vehicles as the current batteries give out. I saw some at Sears the other day for $129.00.

i ran 2 yellows in mine. now that its 12 volts im running one...

I've got a deep cycle in my M715 and a reg. hi-amp unit in my regular FSJ. They're great. When my alternator died on the 715, I drove it (with lights on) for days to work and back (10 miles RT) before it finally gave up the ghost. Put a new alt. in and trickle charged the batt. and it was good as new.

I've got 2 Optima red tops in my 715. It's goin' on 4 years and not one single problem or failure!

Because I live in a very cold winter climate....did I mention we got 6 inches earlier this week and will get at least that much by the time it quits snowing today or tommorow!!...anyway, I run group 31 1/2 bulldozer batteries at 1000 CCA each...nothing like reserve...and when we are out ice fishing and whatever in the winter, one can leave the lights on or other stuff for quite a while before there is a problem...I can crank on it at 20 below and its pretty close to summer cranking...then I go turn the van over and hope it starts cause its turning so slow...I do use '00' size cables as well...

its been 79 here for the last 5 days!!!!

Two deep cycle marine batteries, 12 volt, hooked for burly 12 volt.

Lee, why did you drop one of the batteries? Just don't need it or what?

When I went from 24 volt to 12 volt, I just change the way the batts were hooked up.

I'm using two of the original militry 45 amp batteries (2HN) since I'm keeping it stock. Cost was 100-110 for the pair from Star Electric plus $6 to fill em at a local battery shop.

Red tops in Summit for $129 too.

Optima red top in the M, some generic thing in the CJ. No problems so far with either.
