I know the Platinum P1 group size 34 and P4 group size 34/78 both work. I went with the P4 only because it has more connections. They are both the same battery otherwise.

Still not sold on the dual battery thing. Have been winching for awhile now and have pulled myself and others out of mud, ruts, rocks and miscallaneous, and all on a stock battery. My JK starts up on the first try every day and I've never lost power while winching. I'll run my stocker till it dies and resume using one battery.

Dual batteries aren't about cool factor or having enough amperage to power a laser beam tree trimmer. They are about saving your ass when you are 8 miles deep and screwed blue without 'em. If I never end up with a dead battery at dusk on the side of a mountain, I will still be happy with 2 batteries instead of one.
