Adding House Battery
Good Morning All, Getting ready to do a 5 - 7 day dry camping trip at a beach and was thinking about my house batteries. I currently have two 12 V deep cycle batteries that are about 4 years old...

I wonder how well-matched three new batteries of the same brand and capacity would be. If the two older batteries are in good shape and have been kept charged properly (not discharged too deeply) they may work fine with the new battery. I would make sure that the older batteries were fully charged and test each cell with my hydrometer to verify the condition of each cell. If two older batteries check out "good as new" and the new battery is fully charged, and it's cells check out good per the hydrometer, they should work well together.
I bought two 6-volt USA brand batteries equivalent to T-105's for 99 dollars apiece. I believe they also make 12 volt RV batteries.
