Require recommendations for deep cycle rv batteries

Currently have 2-6V batteries in our Montana. The batteries are going to be 5 yrs old, so I assume they will require replacement soon. Any recommendations on deep cycle rv battery brands?

  • Check them, or have them checked. If they were properly maintained they should give you at least another couple of years service!
  • I just purchased two 6V golf cart batteries from Sams club, so I don't have any real info other than recommended here and in the $80 range, if you don't care to spring from the T-105's.
  • Got my current 4 year old Interstate GC2 6 volt batteries from Samsclub although brand varies. Costco also sells golfcart batteries, last time I checked at Samsclub prices were in the $80s range.

    Sure you could spend a lot more money on batteries but most are made by the same couple of companies anyway, it's more about how they are charged and maintained when it comes to overall service life. Our Iota along with solar keeps our golfcart batteries happy.
  • Do you ever camp on 12 volt alone? If not get the cheap Wal-Mart deep cycle.

    If you do camp on 12 volt only, get the largest Trojans that will fit.
  • Call a golf cart (car) dealer. They use 6V batteries. Ask about Trojan T-105.
  • I bought Interstate at a local battery shop, not much difference in price from Canadian Tire and they stand behind what they sell. NAPA is also good to deal with. Don't buy cheap offshore imitations at the mass retailers, you will pay the price when you need it most.
