RV Battery
I have a 5 year old Interstate battery that needs replacing on my 5er. I suspect that it has been failing for a while. Plugged to 120 V it showed 4 circles. Removed the 120 V power and the RV battery ...

Besides....
DOT requirement is trailer brakes must have good working battery in the event trailer/truck separate and THAT battery must supply FULL battery voltage for at LEAST 15 mins.
Good point, and I'd actually wondered what (if any requirement) existed for this. In my mind, I always considered that the battery just needed to discharge enough to bring the trailer to a stop (maybe 20 seconds or less), but that would little good if you were on a hill ;)
For my money, for this purpose, considering no boondocking, I'd go with a Wal-Mart battery. Yeah, they're hit or miss, but you're never going to be any place where there's not a Wal-Mart.
