Craig,
I'm not sure if Optima's have the CCA necessary to last in a deuce. If you
don't mind, I have posted this question on the MV list. There are sure to be
people who have deuce/optima experience. Their answers would be more
informed than mine.
I personally run 6TL (or was it 6TN's?) in my deuce hooked up to a
solargizer.
How about it list?
How many of you are running optima's in your deuces?
Or optima's in any other large CCA applications?

  Having to get a new set of batteries for my deuce.....how do you think the
Optima would do in one??

  Right now I have 7 yr old CarQuest batteries, 1000 CCA.....which have been
dying for about a yr now. The truck does not get used very often at all and
and just recently I installed a solargizer on it

  I have been looking at some of the Costco/Kirkland Deep Cycle/cranking
batteries at about $70 each but would like to know how they Optimas might
hold up.
