I have used the cheap 6V ones from sams for almost 30 years in 10 different RV's. Best bang for the buck. I don't ever do anything to them and I can get 5-6 years out of them. I also discharge them all the time.
It works for me. If I need more power I will put in more. 6 6V in my last TC. Thinking about putting in 10 for my DP.
My experience as well. Had 4 of them (at $46) put into my bus.
-1 l of coffee every morning
-microwave oven for meals preparation
-long showers, so lot of pump working
-incandescent lights at the time
and the batteries gave me 3-4 days before I had to start generator.
Start loosing capacity at 10 years mark, but I used couple of them till 12 years of age.
Best of 24V battery bank- you can use it for welding.
