Battery recommendations for 1500W inverter
Does anyone have recommendations for a 12V battery setup that can power a 1500W inverter? The background: my travel trailer is currently powered by two 6V golf cart batteries (Duracell SLIGC110 215...

Just for drill, a pair of 800 cca AGM batteries would allow you to use your microwave every day to heat coffee and still allow reasonable hotel draw (no heater blower!) for several days autonomously.
Jeez I wasn't aware that the cost of Full River was anywhere near the Concorde Lifeline. So I have to retract my earlier recommendation of selecting Chinese Full River brand.
.105" thick plates just beats the snot out of .060" plate for overall life. So does the ultrapremium grade of separator and especially envelope sealing that Concorde brags about. 50 amps draw per battery is no way connected to cold cranking performance. If the price per battery is within 50 dollars my vote goes solidly with the Lifeline.
REMEMBER Peukert is not linear! When a calculated draw is only 10% of CCA, judging the suitability of a battery by sheer CCA is being ignorant (politely stated).
If there is substantial money savings involved then I would tend to favor the lower cost battery, but in a heads-up comparison something about choosing a Chinese battery grates on me. Like selecting a 2-row core radiator over a thicker 4 row core and saving $20.00
