Hi Gunbud.
I use the Battery to power the camper and the HF radio. I have used deepcycle batteries for many years, but I have found that they are much slower to recharge. We often travel for severals months and rarely stay at powered sites. I found that it was taking up to 6 hours of driving to recharge the deepcycle battery while it takes only about 2 hours to recharge the AGM battery which we charge off the cars alternator. Seval other friends have them and recharge them quickly using the Christie petrol driven alternator in about 2 hours.
The 90AH fits in the second battery carrier of the GU amd the second one sits under the tray.
Either can also be used to start the vehicle

R.E.P.C.O may add to this info.
