Default Dual Purpose Battery

After reading an article about batteries in a leading boat magazine a decade ago, I have switched to dual-purpose batteries. I have good luck with them in boating applications. I believe they last longer in both age (8-9 years) and use (half a day running electronics such as radio, lights etc.) They may cost a little more but well worth it.

In my application, I have two batteries with a dual battery switch, when off the bilge pumps are still live. When running, both batteries are on.

As for brands, I just buy the Die Hard at Sam's because of the savings. Otherwise, I may buy Interstate.
