Im running 2 trojan batteries in my MC. Im upgrading and running a third this season. Im keeping one for my starting battery. Im going to buy 2 new Deep Cycle batteries. Seems like everyone runs Blue tops.

I know the apparent reasons why Gel cell. Vibration, Non spill and no maintance. I don't plan on draining these batteries below 20%. I've read that lead batteries don't last as long when continiously draining below 20%.
I was looking at some Trojan Deep cycle group 27's that have a lot more reserve time compared to the Blue tops. Almost double. Sell me the Blue tops and tell me why I should spend the extra 100 bucks for the 2. I want whats best but if its not going to be a significant noticable difference then let me know. thanks guys.

dont buy them if you dont want the above features or not running a moderate to heavy stereo system...

not to mention they can not be used for a year and not need a recharge..

clubmyke, why would they be better for a bigger stereo system?
