is this a good battery for my rv?

So we were bought this battery and I'm wondering if it's a good option?

CarQuest DCG27
Marine Battery
12V Deep Cycle Marine/RV Battery,
Gp 27 - 575 CCA/715 MCA,
175 Min

Except mine says 200 min at 23 amps

  • Other than starting the motor (and running the radio?) what else does the 12V battery do?
  • Work ? yes , if you really never "camp "without being plugged in. A true deep cycle battery would be preferred . For some good study info google 12 volt side of life for a lot more. 12 volt
    Marine / Rv batteries are a compromise.
  • It's a group 27 DUAL PURPOSE battery. It will work for you, but there are better choices for RV use.
