The majority of Automotive type batteries are built by just three companies; Deka, Johnson Controls, and East Penn to "Manufactures's specifications. Johnson controls manufactured, I guess that is still the word, in the current scheme most Interstates. I bought several at Wal Mart for my Daughter's pickup. They generally lasted 11 to 13 months. They had shopping carts full of returned batteries.
It will take a while to track down the specifications of each one. Die Hard is now at or near the bottom. Use to put them in everything, with a 72 month warranty but that is back when.
Batteries are now produced or manufactured to the price point of the "Manufacturer" or Retailer of the batteries.
Advertising and puffing is just that and isn't reliable. I'm not sure what the huge 12 volt starting battery, is in the coach but the House batteries are Trojan T105s and last set lasted 7 years and I killed them. I bought Deka for my F150 and it leaked acid, around the post and ruined the fender. batteries Plus "Manager" said they all do that. His boss replaced it, later but he damage was done.
It is Buyer beware on everything now. Reading experiences here, is perhaps a better choice when buying.
