Never buy expensive batteries until you have a good smart charge system.
Never install a battery shut off switch that won't let the frig run on propane.
Having two batteries in parallel significantly increases the longevity of the two batteries verses just having one battery.
If you never need to top off with distilled water in the wet cells it is an indication the battery is not being fully charged.
A full charge that tops off the battery properly in the final stage is very important for battery longevity.
