Yup. at one time there was a Brand (Trojan) that was thought by many to be superior but $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Sam's or Costco are frequently either Interstate or US battery. Very good.. Price both do not forget to price membership if you do not already have one.

I went with DEKA... Since I'm not a Sam's member and my Costco has lapsed (none near me now days) the DEKA's were not that much different in price (East Penn Battery Company)

As I recall Sams had the best price for members back when I last priced but that may or may not have changed Costco was a bit more.

That's it? A used car battery would handle that.

What? Com-on 2old, lets be nice! :) If he is boondocking, at least suggest using a couple actual deep cycles. Many seem to think a couple 6v golf cart batteries paired is a good choice.

I am planning to buy 2 Renogy 100 amp hour batteries from Amazon for the trailer they are $189 dollars each.

best all around battery is SiO2. Pocket book "ouch".

First report I've seen on facebook of someone who disconnected their Li battery in the fall at 50% state of charge. Temperature was -5 c (23 f)at the lowest. Now they have two expensive door stops.

Home built can be an especially good value.

OP...you need to give more info, as to use? If just for RV park, always shore power, or boondocking sometimes? Lots of good options depending.

I use Interstate brand 12V RV/Marine due to mostly shore power hookup availability.
