Can you get the CAT battery at and cat dealership? Are they the same size as ours? Those seem like they might be a good purchase...

truck stores like kenworth peterbilt and freightliner have them as well as cat. i think they are cheaper at the pete store. they are pretty much the same size. they arent big like those bigger class 8 truck ones that have same cca's

hmmmm interesting

Might consider the Optima Deep cell batteries.

Personally I have the Wal-Mart stuff, I hate the store, but the warranty is good everywhere and they work pretty well.

I have to cast my vote for Interstate battery. I have used them for many years without problems.

What about this angle? A regular duty battery and a deep cycle battery. Do you think they would funtion well together? Might need an isolator or something. I usually get the 1000CC battery that pepboys or autozone carry, so far thier duralast batteries have been fine for me. Usually cost about 80-90 bills.
