These are the ones Braidbar use:

they deliver and fit, and guarantee for a year, so there's no problem  
if you happen to get a duff one. Other than that, I don't think it  
makes much difference if you stick to the bog standard leisure  
battery - at least I understood that to be the opinion of a certain  
Tricky member of this list.

AIUI, leaving them on trickle;e charge whilst off the boat is the  
best way to extend life, as they never really get up to full charge  
when cruising.
