    I'm looking to build survival truck planning to run a 2000 Watt Pure sine wave inverter plus some more things in the future. 1 battery for the main two for the axillary battery.

    I like odyssey and interstate batteries. Odyssey are kinda high, but die hard platinum batteries from sears are just rebranded odyssey's. fwiw I really think Johnson controls now owns every American battery manufacturer.

    for what its worth...in terms of the construction sector JC is owned by Honeywell.

    For the thread
    I've heard Optima's aren't what they used to be. But given I've had them in the past for sound systems and in the old TJ, I'll probably go with them again.
