Best battery to use with Engel fridge?

[Greg H]

At the risk of starting another Optima vs. something else thread, what is the best option for the money? I intend to use my (yet to be delivered) MT-45 Engel fridge for long weekends. I'd probably run it up on AC until its time to leave, run it on the vehical on the way there and then run it off of a deep discharge battery for the balance of the trip (3-5 days) in a stand alone mode. If I'm there longer than that I'm proably taking a side trips where I could charge things up on the way.
Is the Optima D31M worth it at $195 delivered or should I go with the biggest Walmart deep discharge I can get?

Let the flames begin!!!

Thanks
Greg H

Greg, I was using the Optima D31M but now I'm using the Odyssey PC2150. It's a big mofo but my Engel likes it.

ditto. odyssey 2150. just be prepared to get a hernia when you deadlift it into your truck.

HOLY SHIT.... $240 for a battery

 

[Greg H]

Thanks for the input. While overkill is my normal mode of operation I think the Odyssey might be more than I need. At $240 plus $42 shipping it's $87 more than the Optima, plus another 15 lbs. From what I can see the Optima not a bad choice it's just the Odyssey has more omph.
I don't have to make a decision yet so I'll keep checking.
