I regularly camp for 3-4 days with 2 6V batteries, and the only time I use the generator is for about 10 minutes to defrost the steaks in the microwave.

:h

I just got back from a little camping trip a few days ago, with a two-night stay at a site with no hookups. After one day and two nights, my pair of 6V batteries had a voltage of 12.5V with no generator usage. I could probably have gone at least a couple more nights.

If one has a residential fridge rather than an absorption fridge, the electric consumption naturally is a good bit higher and a larger battery bank is needed. But with a propane fridge, I don't see where a particularly large battery bank is necessary to avoid generator usage for a few nights.

Who has the best price
Geneerally Sam's club, if you alrady are a member, Next is COSTCO but only in selected stores or by special order

If you do not mind reconditioned, Check out battery Reconditioning companies.

Finally watch for sales.. Sometimes a company has a sale that beats all competition.

And that company may be "Golf Cars Are us" type company (Generic name, far as I know no company actually uses it).

I got a pair at Sam's Club. I don't have any warehouse club memberships, and Sam's club has a one-day pass you can print off to use in their store (albeit with a 10 percent surcharge on the purchase prices). It still ended up being cheaper than the local golf cart place.

It's worth calling any golf cart sellers or repairers in the area, as sometimes some have good prices on 6V batteries as well, even if it wasn't the case for me.

(Do make sure you have sufficient vertical clearance for 6V batteries; they're taller than the typical 12V RV house batteries by an inch or two.)

Same Club

$89 each at my local Costco

Sams or Costco are the cheapest however you will have more opportunity and longer periods to boondock with a small generator if quite time isn't an issue

Check if your local Sam's Club or Costco carries them.

We found our 2 6-volt Trojan T-105's at a golf cart repair and sales facility. After pricing around the area, they were the cheapest. 2 at $109 = $218. After 8 years and still going strong: $218/8 = $27 per year average (so far).

I have just ordered a variety of VRLA batteries for work including some Fullriver 6v AGM L16 (400Ah) and found some good pricing online at BatteriesinaFlash.com. You will need to pay freight but it might be worth your time to look.
