I'd get a dual purpose battery. It's a deep cycle battery, with cranking capabilities. Get as big a battery as you can fit in the space you have.

Lot's of good batteries out there. I've had great success with traditional wet-cell lead acid batteries. I use group 29's. That's a group 31 battery in a 27 case. Awesome. Not sure if you can still get them. I got my batteries from Remy in Milwaukee. Link below. Exide, Northern, Trojan, Interstate. Lots of these brands are made by Johnson Controls.

AGM, or absorbed glass matt batteries are very good, completely sealed, and require no maintenance. Trojan, Cabela's, and Dekka are a couple popular brands.

SpiralCell Technology is still fairly new. In my experience, you just don't get the same reserve as you would from wet-cell, or AGM batteries. You will pay more. Optima is the most common brand.

I always charged my batteries after every use.
