Battery question
Hi all, brand new to the forum and travel trailers! :) I'm going to start my 1st post with a battery question: I have 2 group 29 batteries that I plan to run together, any idea what I'm looking ...

IMy group 29's are both Interstate RV/Marine batteries that I got a few years back for our Pop up trailer. We did 3-4 four day camping trips every Summer, the batteries held up great, I think the lowest they got was 75%.
With MARINE/deep cycle that is the key to long life. Never let 'em get below 75 percent or so (80 is even better)
True Deep Cycle (like the GC-2 class both I and one other recommend)
can go to half full before rapid aging sets in..
Someone said 4-5 years. MY oem GC-2 lasted 9 and my Deka G-20's went 4 years before I even needed to water them (DISTILLED ONLY) so you can see why I like quality GC-2's
What's better.. Well there is a thread about LI batteries (or two) and those are looking.. more and more .. Interesting.. I"m hoping by the time my G-20's need replacement (230 amp hour GC-2 class) LI's will be more competitive.
