(ET) Some advice on 12V deep cycle floodies

[ThompsonG DFO-MPO GC CA]

Hi
        I am now at the point were I need to get a new battery pack for my
Wheelhorse A-60 rider. It came with "Basement Watchdogs" (sump pump backup
power) batteries, but they are pretty much toast and I am only getting 
about
20 minutes cutting time out of them.  Like all the riding mowers the A-60
requires 3-12V batteries. What would you folks who have and use riders,
recommend for a new power pack. 
        Why would I use the A-60 to cut my grass when I have several
Electraks with mowers? My lawn is too small for an ET. Actually it is 
almost
too small for the A-60 but it makes cutting the grass a lot of fun, even if
I spend as much time in reverse as forward, (smile).
