Class A Gas Batteries- Diehard vs Interstate
The batteries in my Bounder no longer hold a charge and need replaced. Do you guys recommend Diehard or Interstate?. It has 3 year old Interstates in it now (1 chassis, 2 coach). I have two deep cycle...

For the coach batteries, if they fit, I would suggest looking at 6V golf cart batteries from wherever you can find some the cheapest--often Costco or Sam's Club, but not always. (I'm assuming what's there now are "RV/Marine batteries".) The cost would end up being approximately the same. Golf cart batteries are a little taller, so check that they'd fit. Most any actual deep-cycle golf cart battery, whatever brand it may be, will outlast and generally give better satisfaction in the sorts of uses that the coach batteries get than a not-quite deep cycle battery. Six or more years is not at all out of line for the life of such batteries with only ordinary care.
In any case, with flooded batteries, it's of course necessary to keep the electrolyte up to the correct level and to avoid their sitting discharged for any extended period of time.
