I've got a 28' trailer for my drag car deal. 12V for the winch, electric
tongue jack and some lights. 110V electrical for the main lights, outlets and
microwave.
I use a 12V Marine deep cycle battery. Got the trailer in late
02, the one that came with the trailer lasted 4 yrs. Then 5 or 6 yrs on the
replacement Wal-Mart battery of the same type/size. Now on my 3rd battery in
almost 12 yrs. Besides being charged by the truck I'll slow charge it about
every 3-4 months and again before the start of winter.
I like the deep
cycle because they can be drained to the point that would kill a normal auto
battery and then recharge it with no ill effects.

text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Ibve got a 24b enclosed trailer with an
electric (12V)
winch for hauling cars up the ramp. Itbs time for a new
battery and Ibm not sure what type to look for.
Normal auto type
Optima sealed
type
Deep cycle marine type
Any thoughts for one over the other? The battery
is
tied into the diesel rigbs electrical system and is
therefore recharged
while driving.
As always, thanks for your thoughts.

BTW, Ibm heading to Hershey in October and
returning mid
month. Anybody looking to move
stuff either to or from Hershey?
