We use the PowerSonic series of batteries for our system typically. They have a good shelf life and use life. Other brands are just as good but buyer beware really cheap lead-acid batteries as you will spend more money on labor having to replace a new battery within the first year than if you spent a couple more dollars on a quality battery.

I also use PowerSonic, but Yuasa was my preference. I think Yuasa is now Genesis. I tried some of the cheaper batteries and found them lacking in endurance. I went back to a job within a year to find a cheap battery that appeared to be seeping gel and it was quite warm to the touch. I pass on those batteries now, won't use them even if they're packaged in a kit, no matter how cheap they are. I take them to a recycler right away.
I use the online Honeywell Battery and Power Calculator to help make sure I don't overload the panel's power output maximum and it's provides a battery size recommendation. But, don't rely on this calculator alone, do the math yourself as I found an error in the online calculator one time and called Honeywell to correct it.
I have two battery testers, one by ACT Meters, Ltd. and one by ELK. The ACT tester provides an AH reading while the ELK provides a Mhos baseline reading.
I think a lot of false alarms, especially motion detector alarms, are caused by power dips, not quite an outage, when batteries are extremely low.
I see a lot of undersized batteries on takeovers, with the 4AH and 7AH being the most popular. I use 7AH, 8AH, 9AH and sometimes two batteries with a special battery harness, depending on the calculations, to efficiently run the system for a 24 hour period.
