Need battery for house and gen starting?
Thinking about this for my house battery and for starting the onboard generator, $120. EverStart Maxx, SLA, Group Size 65N (12 Volt/850 CCA) What do y'all think? Thanks!

You get what you pay for.
The battery you show is a starting battery with a CCA rating. Its not a coach battery that will stand up to being charged and discharged repeatedly. Battery life will be reduced and it will deplete its Amps sooner than a deep cycle battery.
Look at the specs of batteries in their description. Read the weight. You will notice that a starting battery will weigh less than an equal size deep cycle bc the deep cycle will have heavier plates. Thats what you need.
65n is about 47 lbs. grp 31 agm hybrid deep cycle is 69 lbs.
I would be looking for something like a Deka agm 100ah hybrid deep cycle battery It will start your genny, no problem. Deka 8A31DT AGM Battery
