Sorry... another 6 volt battery question
Our 2 Wally World 12 volt deep cycle batteries have served us well the past couple years on our TT. Wife and I don't boondock but our fridge is residential and has worked well on 9 to 10 hour trips ...

Many of us use Costco 6 volt batteries. I have had excellent luck with them.
They are taller than the 12 volt batteries, so be sure you have the vertical space.
Traditionally, deep cycle batteries and marine batteries are designed to run a slow discharge for a long time. If your pontoon boat batteries need to be deep cycle, or if they are suited better to a starting battery depends on the usage in the boat. I have used truck batteries in my boat for years as they just start the motor and are not drained down slowly. They also have a 7 year warranty compared to 18 months for a deep cycle marine battery.
