Dollars per oz. The group 34 AGM ANYTHING is a ripoff. 160% of the price of a 31.
With my Lifelines, each battery can gulp 100+ amperes charging and not burp. Each battery. 200+ amperes total. So if your choice is Lifeline and your generator can handle 100+ amperes of charge rate, don't be shy about getting a 100 amp charger. Senor BFL13 is very well versed in this.
Another point entirely missed by our enthusiasts is that indoor batteries are far less prone to temperatures that need charging voltage correction. You aren't likely to suffer 30F nor 100F temps inside your rig.
I am sooooooo disgusted with my group 34 flooded engine battery in my toad that it is going bye-bye. A hundred dollars more buys a Lifeline 31 for the trunk. One gauge cable is plenty for the ND gear reduction starter. It's 3KV rated cable and it's going to be inside nylon spiral wrap.
The 11" tall Lifeline group 31 (I call it the 2-story) is an excellent value for $380. Only two terminals to deal with. Be SURE to have a 120 amp circuit breaker alongside the battery. I can recharge my battery in an hour an a half. Keeps gen runtime to a minimum.
