A group 24 automotive battery will fit. I would get an 800CCA battery give or take.

Hi Roofdog-

Not to speak for Lavoy, but it probably wouldn't need to be a deep cycle battery as it would be continuously charged by either the generator or alternator, as long as those systems are working properly.

However I would suggest making sure the battery is of a tractor/ commercial/ industrial type as I believe they come with slightly stronger plates that can handle shock load/vibration a little better than a standard automotive or light truck battery at your auto parts store.

In any case, it always seems like my lead acid batteries last exactly two weeks after the warranty expires no matter how much preventive maintenance I do to them.
