Optima Battery
I am thinking about buying a blue top marine deep cycle for a extra battery for the Truck Camper and also use it in the boat when I am not camping. Anyone have good luck with this battery?

I have two 55AH Optimas, a yellow and a blue top(see my profile). I do not plan to replace them with Optimas, mainly because they are too pricey for the AH rating.
My preferred replacement is the Deka mfgrd grp31 AGM from Sam's Club in Eastern states. In OK, we get Johnson Controls. Luckily, I am planning to be in TN this summer when I will buy them there because they will be Dekas.
The Enersys(Sears Platinum, Odyssey) are also very good AGMs, however when you compare by $ you will see that the Dekas provide more AH. I use an automotive Sears P-4 AGM as a starting battery in my van. Sometimes I use it to help out while dry camping.
Here is a link to my recent post about my performance experience with a 5+yo Deka.
