Batteries for a Trailer

[ZQ8Paul 10+ year member]

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to wire my trailer up with a couple batteries so I can run a stereo, lights, tv, etc. Everything will be running off an invertor and I want it set up so the batteries charge when the truck is on, or off a generator. Does anyone have any recommendations as to products to use to do this with? I was thinking about using two optima deep cycle batteries, but I don't know if I want the blue or yellow top or what?

Any input is welcome,

Thanks

Paul

Blue and Yellow Top Optima batteries are basically the same with a different terminal pattern on them...
