What is cheap about this ?
Quote: 711.00 for four, I believe was the price. - After 40 years in RV service, There is NO SUCH THING as a Maintenance free Deep Cycle Lead Acid battery.

- MEXICOWANDERERExplorerI would be cautious about 3 cell maintenance-free batteries
Something too good to be true inevitably turns out to be too bad to endure - pianotunaNomad IIIFind out what chemistry they are. i.e. AGM? GEL? Sealed Flooded?
of those 3 I would only use AGM.
