- There are very few battery manufacturers. They make all the different labels on a contract basis. Buy whatever you get the best deal on. It will most likely be made at the same place as the one down the street with a different name on the side.
B.O. - I just took my old one to NAPA and told them I wanted at least an equivalent. Still works fine after 3 years.
- I usually go with Diehards. They seem to last about 5 years.
- Interstate worked OK for us. When it died, we replaced it with a Sears DieHard group 31 as we didn't have room for two batteries in the rig we had at the time and were going to spend time at Yellowstone in a campground with no electric. Worked well for us. If you do plan to stay at non-electric sites, you might want to consider two batteries, either 12 volt in parallel or 6 volt in series. Or, if like us with no room for a second battery, look for the largest capacity 12 volt you can find.
- I have had good luck with Interstate (so far)
