[DML] Re: What battery is recommended?

["Matt Spittle" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

I myself prefer the Sears Diehard.  Not too long ago, I remember
reading a website that compared a whole bunch of different style
(starting) batteries and weighed their strengths and weaknesses.  The
thing that differentiated the Diehard was that it could withstand more
deep cycles than any other battery (even Optima red-top).  I think the
actual number of cycles was 9 or 10.
