Which of these 3 battery brands would you choose?

I think maintenance is more important than battery brand. Case in point my first set of replacement batteries were Trojan 105's. They lasted me 4 years. People told me that was normal because I only dry camp. My second set were Sam's Club batteries which I bought in 2007 and are still good. Do I think Sam's Club is better because they lasted me 14 years and Trojan only lasted 4 years, no, I just learned how to maintain them better. Secondly, I would buy a battery type based on how you camp and your electrical requirements. Folks with high amp loads or full time might may want to pay extra for a Li battery, people who don't want to be bothered with maintenance may go with AGM, people that just go to FHU CG's a 12v battery is good enough. Not everyone needs a 400 AH Li battery and 400 W of solar panels.

what ever you buy dont mix agm with lead acid..buy the one with the best warrenty

Skip all of these options and get the new Fullriver EGL series AGM. https://www.fullriverbattery.com/product/egl200-6/

This battery is brand new, has the longest warranty, will do twice the cycles, and is safe to discharge 80%

This is an incredible battery, get these or update to Lithium.

Amen to that!

I just replaced my batteries with 6 of the Trojan T-105’s. Paid about $136.00 each at one of the local golf cart stores…..be sure to buy a battery strap to pull the old ones and replacing the new….sure makes the whole process easier. They are heavy…. All the research I did….pointed to the Trojan as the best. Also agree with earlier post….they are wet-cell.

Why was Lifeline excluded?

I would go with Trojan as they are are very high quality battery and worth a few bucks more than other wet cells. The seller can say what ever they want but T 105's are wet cell not AGM's

I had used Interstate for many years until I discovered that Wal Mart and Interstate were made by the same company so I tried Wal Mart at 1/3 less cost and they are still doing fine 3 years later. I also have one in the Smart car and the Mercedes, replaced after 17years!

And an adequate solar system does that very well most days Mr. Wizard as you know.
