Costco GC2 have to be the best bang for the buck !
I agree on the best bang for your buck, but at this present time I have TWO almost 4and a half year old Costco GC2's that are starting to fade, I suspect a dead or dying cell in one because of the lack of holding its full charge. Heater ran through two cycles, them fan came on but wouldn't light,, voltage panel was showing just under 12 volts. Next morning with solar it ran great and voltage was over 13V.
We are back now and I have to remove batteries before I store
trailer.
with the age and possibly one going bad, I found out new GC2's and T105's at a $42 difference and decided on the Trojans.
I'll post what I find. But bottom line a January camp trip will need flawless battery supply.
