What are the opinions about Trogan Batteries, Specially the T-145, and the T-145 Plus, is it worth the difference cost?

    Trojan is tough to beat for quality.

    I looked extensively and cost the T-145's to the T125's. Local dealer who owned DP talked me into going to the T-145's replacing my four dead OEM brand that were apparently in poor shape when I bought my 2016 Fleetwood. I have the residential Samsung RF-18 fridge and at the end had a tough time going overnight in cool weather.

    I really struggled making the decision as I had two T-125's in my old MH and they served me well. Bottom line was I went and bought four Costco/Interstate last month and will add another two or four, depending on the bank account, this month. I just couldn't justify the cost of Trojan over the long run. DW makes donations at the local casino's and we will spend 2/3 nights at one near our daughter.

    From everything I have read, everyone says go with the T-125's over the T-145's as they are the best bank for the buck and my feeble mind I figured the same.

    What ever you do add a watering system to it. Makes care so much easier. I got a Flow-Rite on Amazon you can gang them together to water how ever many batteries you have.

    I have Trojan T-125s now, they've been in service 4 years. and they won't hold a charge very long. we were getting 5 days on batteries but now we can only go 2 before we get the low battery light.
