[VAL] Best type of battery.



I wanted to get a feel for how everyone felt about batteries.  I have done
some research and discovered that it would seem the best option is a true
deep cycle battery(Trojan).  The AS currently has a very inexpensive and
small car battery and I do not think it will do much for us away from a good
power source.  I do have a new 40 amp converter which seems to do well with
keeping the power supplied and keeping the battery charged while onshore.
It also still has the vent tube for the original battery, but is currently
not being used.  Does anyone know is it best to keep the battery in a box
hooked up to the vent tube?
