I have a larger deep cycle boat battery that has more cranking amps than the one that is in the trailer.
Can I use that battery or will it be to much and fry something?
Yes, you can use it but cranking amps means nothing for this use. Commonly we compare batteries by using the amps @ the 20 rating.
Can I use any 12V battery?
Yes, but some are better than others.
Can someone point me to a good one that will not break the bank?
Go to Walmart and purchase the largest RV/marine battery that will fit in your holder.
How long should a good battery last with only keeping the basics on in a trailer?
Two days to a week.
Many of us use multiple batteries linked together. You can use 12v batteries in parallel or 6v batteries in pairs.
