It would also help enormously to turn off the fridge climate control heating element which is an unnecessary load on his battery. Rather than wasting $$$ upgrading his battery what he should be doing is find the source of this draw down on his battery even when his battery disconnect switch is off. Somethin' ain't right and upgrading his battery isn't going to solve it, fixing the problem will. ;)
