To get the most bang for the bucks the two 6V golf cart batteries in series will give you around 220-225AHs capacity for around $200. Two groups of these will give you 440-450AHs capacity.
I originally went with 4EA standard issue GP24 Interstate 12V batteries and lost one pretty quick until I changed out my converter/charger for a smart mode charger. I have been running the remaining three Interstate batteries 255AHs now for over five years.
I really want to go with two groups of Two each 12V Trojan T1275 150Ah capacity batteries with one group in the back of my truck and the other group on the tongue of my OFF-ROAD POPUP. This will give me 300AH capacity at each location or 600AHs when connected together when in camping mode.
Thats my future plans for my two-way radio ops for Emergency Radio operations and covering my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer camping as well...
A 300AH capacity battery setup is also well within what I can mount on my off-road POPUP trailer for solar panels to be re-charged during the one SUN DAY...
