The definatve answer from the winch doctor is:
it depends!
If you are launching a whole bunch of sailplanes all day long, get a deep
cycle marine battery as big as you are willing to carry.
If you are only interested in launching YOUR airplanes for but a few, killer
launches, get a regular car battery, it will supply a stronger punch for a
shorter time than the deep-cycle.

Ok troops, hopefully this post will not start a flame war like most of the
other post have lately.
My winch battery died yesterday after only 1.5 years of medium use. I am
unsure of what I should replace it with. I am launching open class/F3B/F3J
type planes off a Rahm winch. I also don't want to have to pay doctor bills
because I killed my back trying to lift something that weighs to much. What
experiences do you have that would help me make the right selection?
Thanks in advance for your help.
