Battery replacement. Standard 12volt or upgrade?

The standard 12 volt interstate battery has gone bad in my parents 2014 Forest River 8289WS TT. Debating if I should replace the battery, replace the battery and add a second 12 volt battery or up...

I would figure out WHY battery went bad in such a short time............otherwise the NEW battery (or batteries) could end up same!

Overcharging
Drawing voltage WAY down before recharging
Not maintaining water levels
Ignoring any maintenance


WHY :H
