Assuming we are talking about 6 volt batteries..... Trojan T145.
In any make battery look for the highest amp hour rating.....
Since all amp hours are not tested equally, compare weight.
Typically the battery that has the most lead in it, will also have the highest amp hour rating...

Look at Deka and US Battery too. My research, (no experience yet), shows these two rate the same as the Trojans. The USB145 is 244 AH and 70 pounds. The Trojan t145 is 260AH at 72 pounds. The real difference is the USB's can be had every where for about $135 to $150. The Trojan's, around here, are breaking the $200 mark.
