Sorry, I know this has been discussed to death - maybe that's the problem - I've read so many threads on this topic that I'm thoroughly confused. I just put on a 12,500 winch behind the factory bumper and I'm looking to replace the tired old batter with a new one.
I've read many, many threads on the topic but the barrage of choices is overwhelming. I've narrowed it down to Sears Platinum battery - in stock, available from local store, great technology and good reputation.
I need help narrowing down the final choices on type and size.
Should I get an Automotive type battery - like this Group Size 34/78DT here ($229):
850CCA, RC=135

Or, will this suffice, Group 35 - with the Winch I got (periodic use):
740CCA, RC=100

OR, should I spring for a Marine Group 34M battery (like many have used) - since I need to drive the winch too:
880CCA; RC=135
