I would assume that varius types of batteries are for varius purposes.. I 
ave
of course heard of lead acid batteries and recently saw some batteries that 
had
some kind of gel or something in them. i basically use big batteries for my
vehicles. 2 for my diesel Van just to start it and I need to add another one 
to
run the accessories on like fridge etc. This battery needs to be good holding 
a
charge for a long time and being able to recharge again and again.. also been
interested in perhaps collecting some to hook together  and hook up to a big
inverter for when the power goes out.. could still run a few lights etc..(G) 
in
either of these applications which type or style of battery is best? thanks
