Mostly for my own reference, these are the lead acid cells I'm looking into:

group 24, 80Ah, $72
group 27, 105Ah, $75


Ironically, the little 26R OE replacement costs even more than either of the deep cycle batteries above:

26R starting battery, $89


So, its actually cheaper to go with either of the batteries that'll allow me to do an alternator delete... Works for me.
