I have a pair of the internally-heated 100Ah Battleborns. Yes, they are spendy, but they're less than half the weight of the largest deep-cycle lead-acid that you can fit into the stock battery box (that far forward--at least in my Pinnacle--they contribute quite a bit to pin weight), and with a screwdriver and some judicious tapping with a dead blow mallet, you can get the Battleborns into that same battery box (the carry strap brackets are what necessitate the tapping--they'd slide right in without them).
With my use pattern, they will probably be the last batteries I ever have to buy for this 5'er, and thus are cheaper in the long run than lead-acid or AGM deep cycle batteries, and will perform better (particularly in the cold).
