Battery question

[Digger12]

We are picking up our new expanda in a week or two and I want to purchase a battery for it this weekend. I have two optima batteries in my patrol at present and was thinking of buying one for the van. Does anyone recommend a certain battery or would an optima be fine?

any advice would be appreciated

I have one of these bought from my local Auto elec for $330 so far so good but I suppose any Sealed Battery would be OK

Any good sealed deep cycle (up to 100-105a/h) should do the trick, if van doesn't come with a battery. (Not sure what van you've got.) AGM if you can afford and with warranty. Used to get a week out of a 50 a/h battery just with the LED lights in the Flamingo before I added folding solar panels.
