We take our batteries here very serious. They are my lifeline (no pun intended) haha...
I do my walk around all the time checking things associated with the RV Trailer including the batteries... You can remote monitor almost every thing associated with the Battery charging setup... Its really no excuse having your batteries go bad on you.
My 2008 trailer came with four each Interstate GP24 85AH 12V batteries at my request. I lost one of the batteries right away by the older single mode converter/charger setup boiling out my battery fluids. I replaced that with a good always working PD9260C working charger setup and just last season decided to replace the remaining GP24 batteries... I have had many of off-grid trips using the three remaining GP24 batteries... Getting eight years out them only happened by keeping track on how they are performing...
My upgrade battery bank is going to be using two groups of two 6VDC 220AH Trojan T105 batteries. I looked all over everywhere looking for deals and finally found a local GOLF CART dealer that can order them for me at a good price... No shipping costs since I can pick them up locally... The local dealer also told just bring in the four GP24's 12V batteries to cover the core cost. Win Win for me on both accounts haha... Hoping to have my upgraded 440AH battery bank going soon...
