re: "don't get a marine/starting battery for house use. get a deep cycle type, no CCA on it."
all batteries have a CCA, it's just not listed if the marketing for the battery doesn't think it necessary. You can easily measure it if you want and it might be a good thing to know if you run an inverter in your RV and like to use a microwave to heat up a cup of coffee or something.
Also. if you can find an objective definition for 'deep cycle battery' that is backed up by a pertinent and useful empirical measure, please let me know. I've been looking for years and so far come up empty.
Do get a battery from a retailer who sells a lot to folks who use them like you do and will stand behind what he sells. Then go by specifications, warranty, and price.
