Thanks, all. I admit my research has not been battery heavy on this forum.
I will address some of your responses:
It is a 16footer BH trailer. Small, so one battery.
I do not have a hydrometer.
It is not true deep cycle (marine I believe will be the distinction correct?)
We do in fact Boondock, we bought some property in Colo. and that is where I was.
Last year we left everything up there and returned to a working battery even after a week or more. Just did a generator charge. The battery worked like a charm.
I have heard about reviving them?? Thought about putting battery tender on, but heading back up very soon. Because of price I will stay with a Marine type, but in the future think about an upgrade. Plus, no room here at home to have another battery around want to take it in for the core when I get a new one. Seeing how there are two big battery company's its a******shoot on these things. Any suggestions on brands, or is it just a******shoot. Or, would we see quality control in some and not others.
Thanks, all. As always greatly appreciated. I am on a lot of forums for various things, and this is one of the best. I want to post pics soon of the property before and after. Hope to do soon. Some of you might find it really interesting what putting in a pad will do to a piece of property. We use this spot to take of from and go mobile camping.
