    Was haveing the same problems as you with my batteries. Every year had to replace all 4 (prorated warranty) . Still it was getting expensive. Bought 4 Optima yellow and have had them 2 years with no problems. They were quite high in cost ($193.00 USD) but have been well worth it.

    deep cycle battteries are the way to go. if you are using an inverter you should put in 2 batteries seperate from the main batteries with an battery isolater which will leave your main batteries fully charged and all batteries will charge when the engine is running

    Deep cycle batteries are the right choice when using an inverter any bigger the the small cigarette lighter types, like my 2500. The Odyessy PC1500DT's are an excellent choice. Batteries should always be replaced in sets and not individually.
