This may come a day to late, but my advice is to buy marine batteries 
rated at the same CCA & AH (or slightly higher). A normal automotive 
battery loses about 25 - 35% of it's ability to store power each time 
it is run down all the way (call it a full cycle); a marine battery is 
designed to be able to cycle hundreds of times, losing about 1/2 - 1% 
each time. Therefore, especially with the possibility of a short or 
other electrical malfunction, a marine battery may keep you from having 
to replace the battery again while you diagnose the related issues.
