A "marine" battery is made to withstand the harsh enviroment (temperature extremes, shock %26amp; vibration, long periods of disuse) -- tougher case, thicker plates, etc. An automotive battery won't last long.
A deep cycle battery is made to take repetitive deep discharge/recharge cycles without failing prematurely. Your car's battery wouldn't last 6 months in a deep cycle application.
Heavier battery means more lead, means better run time.
I use walmart's biggest trolling battery, an everstart group 29; mostly because you can get it replaced 24/7 and you're never far from a walmart, Fact that it has 2-year free replacement and doesn't usually last 2 years means usually you pay once %26amp; never have to buy another. Doesn't always work that way though -- the one I have now is over 3 years old.
Get yourself a good quality battery charger, recharge it soon as you get off the water, and top it off the night before your next trip.|||Buy your self a charger that can produce 10, 6, and 2 amps of power. they are much better for the overall life of the battery
