if you use your disco primarily when you are on holiday i'd get a leisure one

Save yourself a few quid and go to your nearest tractor dealer and buy the biggest one that fits in the hole.

to my understanding, all batteries are designed the same and function the same.

(1) However, deep cycle batteries like optima's(£180 and cost to much) are able to say discharge/drain to 90% without permanent damage, while the normal batteries, tractor could only sustain 60% drain and any more than that they are dead.

(2) Also, the deep cycle batteries can discharges faster, needed during winching. Faster discharge = faster the voltage being sent to the winch motor = higher efficiency the winch motor function = somehow, the winch motor runs cooler too

On the battery front try these guys, sorted me right out and were well cheap.
