Re: Battery
Optima Red-Top. Don't use a deep-cycle for your main battery. If you want a backup battery for an audio setup that's where you want a deep-cycle.

Re: Battery
I agree with an Optima red top...
If you get a lead acid battery, go for 850-1000 Amps and 100-110 reserve capacity..

Re: Battery
Just curious why you are listening to the radio that long? How often do you do that?

Re: Battery
My optima red top worked no problem even in -40, I lived in Red Deer, and it got that cold quite often. As long as the car was plugged in, it was okay.

Re: Battery
They're better in the cold than regular batteries, there's no water in the to freeze.
