  • Been perusing the Internet and have not found the Hawk Deep Cycle Battery or who makes them.
    Perhaps I have the name wrong but it had hawk in it.

    What is cheap about this ?

  • After 40 years in RV service, There is NO SUCH THING as a Maintenance free Deep Cycle Lead Acid battery. They may sell them, but they rarely live up to the claim. Now, Gel or AGM, that is a different story. Notice I stated DEEP CYCLE, not Auto type batteries. Doug

  • I would be cautious about 3 cell maintenance-free batteries

    Something too good to be true inevitably turns out to be too bad to endure
  • Find out what chemistry they are. i.e. AGM? GEL? Sealed Flooded?

    of those 3 I would only use AGM.
