That's exactly what I use on race weekends when I don't bring the generator. Works great. I get my deep cycle battery from Tractor Supply. Dont know if you're close to one. I see they have 10 stores in Jersey.

Chilli, what is the going price for a deep cycle battery these days?

[Chilli]

I think the Tractor Supply battery is about $80 plus $5 core deposit. The reserve capacity is about 180 minutes. Reserve capacity the amount of time the battery can provide a usefull voltage at a 25 amp draw. With four to five P and P-Limited FE boats between me and John, the battery lasts us a full day of racing. I think this battery is the best bang for the buck. I also keep the battery in a Minn Kota Power station.
