Let me ask you a question: Which religion is best (Please do not answer this question)
This is the question you have asked. There are folks here who will say "Oh Only 12 volt, Only 12 volt" and there are folks who will say "only 6 volt pairs, only six volt pairs".
The facts are basically, So long as you compare DEEP CYCLE to DEEP CYCLE there is not a lot of difference till you get to one line on the spec sheet, I'll come to that in a bit.
The thing, however, is Marine/Deep cycle.. is NOT DEEP CYCLE, it is automotive starting. the common GC-2 golf car battery IS deep cycle.
Now, that said, you can not get 12 volt golf car batteries, and I've long had access to other genuine 12 volt Deep Cycle batteries.
My recommendation is thus: Stick with a true DEEP CYCLE (Trolling or golf car) not a "marine/Deep cycle"
Now, the one spec that is often different by a big time
Cost: $80.00 (six volt at Sam's club, you need two for 230 amp hours of DEEP CYCLE power (115 usable).
Try that with the others.
