    Any of the batteries on this list are a good choice:

    I especially like the Die-Hard Platinums.... they warranty is excellent, and it's usually not too hard to locate a "Sears" store when you're out on the road.....

    I have the diehard platinum 31 and am very pleased. It starts my 250 Pro XS and runs my electronics all day. After a tournament running electronics and pumps all day, I decided to check it before I hooked up the charger. My volt meter showed 12.7 volts, I was amazed. I had a 15 mile run back to the ramp which charged it some.
