[SEL] Winch batteries

[MBellar at aol.com]

I purchased a Stanley jump start portable battery pack at Sams two years  
back and use it to power a power  winch to load engines on and off my  
pickup. Works fine with a built in battery charger air compressor and trouble  
light. Saved my butt on several occasions. There is enough battery power to  
load several engines.

Seriously I just replaced batteries in a golf cart.  Cost me  over 100.00 
each.  I would bet golf cart batteries would be as good or  better than 
marine.  Had a marine in a tent camper and that sucker was ,  big, heavy and 
expensive and that was 30 years ago.

They  tolerate deep discharges much better than the others. The classics are 
Trojan  T-105's. They have gotten pricey. I replaced my 9 year old Trojans 
last summer  with a pair of Interstate GC-2 at Costco for $83.99 ea.
