PC, T Bone is right on but I would add...there are two types of deep cycles. Trolling and Starting. Both have heavier lead plates than a normal car/truck battery and have longer amp hours. If you are going to run lights or other electronics when you set up the matched pair, you might want to stay trolling style. Most companies brand the batteries with a date code. Stores like Wal Mart usually rotate the stock out in less than one year so it is likely they are fresh from the supplier. My battery man also tells me to charge the battery last thing before storing for the winter. Do not test or initiate the discharge. They all discharge naturally but once you start the discharge by testing or using it, the rate of discharge is increased. He has me charge them at least twice over the winter storage. I have had one going for 6 years and more using his suggestions.
