I liked our Group 27 Deep Cycle Interstates, I think they had more power, but they are very expensive, something like $250 each. Again vs. $90, even if the battery lasts 3 years instead of 6.
Upgraded my old Magnetec to a PD converter for $200 from here:
Best Converter
Took 20 mins to install, very easy to follow instructions they sent.
