Please help with New Battery Purchase

Thanks! I think I understand that the "group" is the physical size of the battery itself...is there another number I should be looking for...like what amp hour rating would you consider to be OK in a large battery?

I definitely prefer a sealed system....I'm terrible with maintenance. Good intentions and all, I'll even put it on the calendar, but in reality I'll add water once or twice, but after that...well, I'll be buying a new battery again. :) Not proud, it's just my truth.

I saw another post about adding a second battery and the issue of sufficient space came up...that would be an issue for me too...pretty tight in there and I just bought this thing....haven't even camped in it yet so I don't know that I know enough to be taking it to a metal fabricator to make a custom mount for a second battery.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated!

Most often the dealer installs one group 24 rv/marine battery when selling a new RV. That is probably what you have.

You could install a pair of 12vdc group 24, a pair of 6vdc golf car batteries, or larger 12vdc batteries such as group 27 or group 29. It is all up to you. The name on the battery isn't greatly important in spite of what advertisers tell you.
