For a comp truck you want something that is reliable and if you're using it for winching then you want high CCA. I used Optima batteries because they are smaller than most of the others and they are dry cell so they don't spill if you roll over.

I second the optima... particularly due to the lack of spillage.
I recently bought one off of
AA POWERCRANK BATTERIES PTY LTD - BRISBANE
UNIT 9 / 29 COLLINSVALE STREET
ROCKLEA QLD 4106
PHONE 07 3277 0444
Pretty awesome pricing beat everything I saw online pricing wise and had the D31A in stock.

Oh, by the way. If you get the blue top for your main battery it has extra terminals to attach accessories to so you don't have to clog up the main leads. But the yellow tops are the better ones for winching.

^^^^^^^^
As they said.
No spill, great power for winching.
No one's mentioned so far how quickly Optima's accept charge and get back to full power.
