Patton -
I have the Exide Orbital which is Exide's version of
the Optima. I have it both in my BJ8 and the BN1.
To say the least these batteries are very high quality
and are worth the extra cost... they crank like a
mother and are bullet proof to the variances in the
Generator based charging system. + I have never seen
them leak anything, ever.
You probably don't need the deep cycle version, my bet
is the red top will be enough for your needs.
Regards,
Alan
