buy a deep cycle battery, like the Optima Red Top starting battery...

http://www.optimabatteries.com/optima_products/redtop/index.php

lead acid batteries is a thing of the past.. there are newer and better technology batteries out there..

quote Optima:
Strongest 5 second starting burst
Up to 2x longer life
More than 15x the vibration resistance
Completely spill-proof, mountable in many positions
Maintenance free
Faster recharging capabilities
Optimal starting power, regardless of temperature

alot of car audio shops have them because of their high power potentials...

x2...
Anything other than a sealed Deep Cycle is not worth the $$ these days because battery prices went up. The Red Top can take the heat.

I am using a Kinetic HC1400 currently and I never have to worry about not starting (but that is in the trunk as this one can't take heat)...

The man done buy his battery but trust me, I saw conventional batteries selling for about $900-$1200 and the maintenance free were more for my application. So I just put the extra and bought a Dry Cell.

I used Dry Cells in the past from Optima and I got over 5 years of service on 3 different batteries. I also had good experience with the Stinger SPV35 as a starting battery and currently I have a Kinetic in another car. Out of all the Optima Red Top was the only one that could take heat- all the others are meant for the boot area.

25 miles out in the ocean you need a battery that will work first time every time cose you cant get out and push it

Optima has been in my boat for 4 years now and its never failed

Tired Accord, I've had a couple yellow top Optima's swell to the top under heat but they cool down back to normal. They never failed me once for many years though. The Kinetic swells to the sides. I guess they are sealed and can't "breathe" as normal batteries that have holes on top.

Just keep the dry cells cool and the years they would last would more than offset the cost of buying it opposed to buying a few normal batteries like Rocket or whatever they have these days.

Yh understand ...thise why i always choose rocket ....served me well and is great .....but yh know most ah the time ah battery does knock out on ah man is of bad conditions
eg .
1. near the manifold thus it getting heat like that
2.it knocking all about and rell getting beat up
3. allowing it to run low on water and then topping it up busy busy

all of that contribute to the faliure of a battery !!!

never bought a rocket because of the same observations. had an AC Delco once, failed while under warranty and the dealer in Balmain gave a lot of trouble to replace it. 2 1/2 - 3 years good enuf for me and my local battery. they live up to my expectations. imagine if i bought a red/yellow/blue/green/purple top battery and it failed in that time...
