With my G27 now 8 yrs old it's probably time to upgrade, which I intend to do with a pair of 12 volt G31s which together will allow the inverter to even more easily meet these demands I occasionally ask of it with less voltage sag under heavy load. For myself and others who don't dry camp often and won't often deeply discharge any battery on a regular basis a pair of 12s is therefore IMO the better choice than a pair of 6 volt GC-2s.

Last I looked, Total Battery in Barrie,ON was selling Trojan 1275's (12V, 150AH, ~GC12) for CAN$241.
Think I would prefer that or similar deep-cycle GolfCart/Sweeper 12V over the 31 and 27 12Vs, most of which are more "Marine" multi-use bats.
East Penn here in Canada distributes the conventional flooded deep cycle Group 31 Deka DC31DT (105 AH 20 hr rate) under the RV Care dealer brand name and because "I know a guy" my cost will be ~ $125 Cdn apiece so that's probably what I'll go with when the time comes. If I were paying full retail for a 12 volt Trojan I'd probably go with an SCS200 or SCS225. :)
