What car/truck? What exact amps are they? (model numbers)

I assume you'd be using the amps in your signature?

Start with a deep cycle battery such as a Kinetik or an Optima Yellow Top...you didn't say what kind of vehicle/engine you have, so I have no clue what your stock alternator is - but if it's under 100A, you might want to look into an upgrade.

If I did my little search...your alt is ~96A? Or somewhere in there. (Check your owner's manual to be sure)

Get one of the batteries Frost suggested, do the big three, and then see if you need a new alt.
