Also check the water often and add distilled when necessary especially if you have a shore power trickle charger

Don't worry too much about brand names because there are only a few companies making these batteries. Deka and Johnson Control build the majority of them as far as I know. If you can afford it AGM batteries are the way to go. No water levels to worry about and usually last longer than a flood battery. I use Cabela AGM and get them on sale for 160-180 bucks each and they last about 5 years. A fully charged battery should read about 12.8 volts OFF the charger for 24 hours.
