Battery questions
I know there are some very knowledgeable folks on this topic, hoping you'll chime in.
Current set up is a small 17' hybrid that HAD a new (Costco), single group 27 12v (105 AH) battery. I use a 2000w inverter generator to charge it using the on board converter. I also have a 2500w modified sine wave inverter attached for running a 760w coffee maker in the morning before generators are allowed to run (9am to 1030am and 5pm to 7pm ONLY). Well, I completely fried that G27 battery (Costco brand). I neglected to check the water level and had to add about 500-750mL of distilled by the time I thought to check it. Also, the 5 min it took to brew a pot of coffee would basically kill the battery. It would go from 12.3-12.4V down to 11.7-11.6V to brew one pot.
So, I got rid of the G27 12V battery, and need an upgrade.
Here are my options:
Which of these would be best?

So, I got rid of the G27 12V battery, and need an upgrade.
Here are my options:
- 2 of the same Costco (but new) G27 12V 105AH batteries that I will be more diligent at checking electrolyte levels
- 2 12V AGM batteries ($$)
- 2 Costco 6V golf cart batteries listed as 208AH @ 6V
Which of these would be best?
