What battery with most amp hours?

What for? I have an Alaskan Gold 8D AGM that has 240 amp hours. But it weighs 161 lbs and costs around $700.
 
I searched for 100ah AGM battery on Amazon and came up with this, seems to be several in the $200-$300 range.

 
I'm currently running this 100 AH battery. X2Power Premium AGM Dual Purpose (Starting/Cycling) Battery for Deep Cycle BCI Group 31M Marine and Boat - SLI31AGMDPM at Batteries Plus Bulbs

It was installed by the previous owner and here is a detailed write-up of his experience. The battery has been in use now for a little over 3 years with no issues at all and I have quite a number of accessories attached to it. It is my one and only battery, no dual-battery setup needed. Highly recommend if you can fit it in your vehicle.

X2Power SLI31AGMDPM (Group 31 AGM) battery, long term user experience.

EDIT: I've decided to go with the X2Power SLI31AGMDPM Group 31 battery instead of the Odyssey PC2150. I came to this decision mainly due to the...

I recently bought this 100Ah AGM battery from Amazon for $159. Been using it extensively the last month or so. So far, so good. Can’t beat the price

 
I noticed some of these batteries don't show CCA. A good dual purpose starting/deep cycle battery needs to have good CCA rating to turn over a truck engine. So far the X2Power one has that, not sure about some of the others.

Yes. The X2 has 1150 CCA!! Starts my truck with no hesitation!
 
I am also running the X2. My first one failed after 2 years. It would no longer hold a charge. 5 year warranty and received a new one. New one might also be having issues but I haven't had time to test it. I need to do a good charge on it and leave it disconnected for a while to see if it holds the charge. Hard to do when it is in your daily driver. Otherwise I have been pretty happy with the battery. You pay up front for the good warranty but it is there if you need it.

Ouch.
 
My 5 year old Sears Diehard AGM 75ah truck battery died this morning, we got down to 31 or 32 and the truck wouldn't start. I've been noticing the battery getting weaker while starting for some time and 5 years for a battery is pretty good. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the X2 to replace my current battery, just have to go down to the truck and see if it will fit, pretty sure it will fit in an F-150, current battery is pretty big.

I have all of my non-Toyota stuff on a dedicated fuseblock with a cutoff switch. All of it has been turned off for a couple of days and they battery seems to be holding a charge. So that's good news. Bad news I have to figure out what it draining the battery. Grrrr.

Well I decided to get the 27M to be sure it fit in the opening I have for my current Group 65 battery, pretty sure it will. It's 8 pounds lighter too so hopefully the battery box will hold up! At 930 CCA and 90ah it's an improvement over my previous Diehard that had 775 CCA and 75ah!

Im looking at the North Star NSB-AGM48/L3 for my 18' Titan. But if I could squeeze in a larger battery that would be ideal. haven't sold myself on doing dual battery setup yet. its a daily struggle.
