Ok so I stopped in Auto Zone and found 100+ ah deep cycle batteries for under a $100. Is their really that more of an advantage to getting the Stinger SPV70's over these? Like what would the percentage be? I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger on $100+ batteries (wasn't in the origional budget). If I do their gonna be last! Or I could get 2 of these now and upgrade later this year. So many decisions!!! lol!!

Just make sure they are rated on the same time frame.

100ah does not mean 100 amps per hour.

if its rated on a 20hr cycle, that's 5 amps per hour.

Some competition batteries are rated based on shorter time frames.


A 65ah battery rated on a 1hr cycle is a monster compared to a 100ah battery rated on a 20hr cycle



also, AGM batteries are not spillable and do not give off hydrogen gas. [they are better for use inside the cabin of a vehicle]

Stinger is going to have less internal resistance, last longer and be more suited for CA.
