Hi all, While waiting for our new 28' Stealth toy hauler we're trying to figure out the best batteries to get for when we're back in the hills camped off the grid. We ordered the optional 200 watt ...

I might be wrong
but i am of the opinion that the more Conservative the AmpHr rating per pound of lead, aka more lead per AmpHr
the higher the quality of battery
my Surplus Telco server batteries 105# 135Ah each
thats 1.28 Ah per pound of lead
since the batteries are 33% heavier than a group 31, but also taller
i don't know if the plates are just taller, or also Thicker while being taller
i suspect thicker, because i'm not sure they are 33% taller
i never thought about it until now
as it has been stated many times
plate thickness is design of function
super high amps for a short time, aka spin the starter on a cold engine
or moderate amps for a along time for a dedicated load
For MOdern RV'ers , there is NO constant for comparison
no set number of hours of 40w tv, no set number pump run minutes
lots of intermittent high amp inverter use
