Since you need to buy batteries, I would go with 2 6V AGM golf cart batteries. They will last far longer than FLA and need virtually no maintenance!
I did not have much luck with AGMs, but I ran them hard. I even did all the good things like 20% amps/AH recharge and got them down to 0.05A/100AH as a religion, and still they died earlier than my wet 6s do being treated the same way.
I went back to wet 6s. Perhaps there is a line for which is better along the hard use vs easy use divide.
"They" are now promoting Lead Carbon batts for twice the money of AGMs which are AGMs doped with lead carbon to make them last longer. AGMs already being way more cost than Wets. So "They" are really after "Our" money any way they can. :(
