Ordinary car batteries are not tolerant of deep discharge. In a car they
get charged almost constantly and even after a cold morning start they
immediately get charged again. They are not designed for deep discharge and
if used in such a service will not last long.

From what I've found, the Trojan and Deka golf cart batteries seem to
perform the best. Also good are Superior Battery and Crown Battery. I
have two Deka GC-15 in series to run the equipment and house LED
power-failure lighting.
Other brands may be manufactured out-of-country, even though they have
USA-sounding names. It's a good idea to do your own research and talk
with the locals about their experiences. I have bought automotive
starting and other use batteries from the local stores like Sams, Auto
Zone, and Tractor Supply, and have been disappointed with the battery
life.
Intelligent charging is a significant life factor.

Jerry,
My favorite are golf car batteries, Trogen brand if not too expensive :
Second on my list would be 12volt RV/Marine Batteries, not the marine
starting battery.
