Trojan t-1275 vs Signature series J150 RE
Before winter, I need to get a dedicated flooded house battery, my Northstar AGM-27 has been working hard as both house and engine battery for the last 4 months, and I want to return it to engine star...

My previously enjoyed ( two years golfing) T-1275s are still going great after two years with me. I deep cycle them or shallow cycle them, charge them fast or slow, doesn't matter as long as they get their shot of VEC1093DBD Equalize every so often.
After a recent week off grid they got home with SG in the red after slowly getting run down over the week. Got them back up with SGs 1.300 to 1.285. They seem to be getting better as they get used!
They act differently from the 6v batts and it doesn't work so well to pair the T-1275s with the 6s as one big bank for a long period of solar shallow cycles, but it is fine for a few days of successive 50-90s as long as you do the recoveries individually when you get back.
I would think a brand new T-1275 would last an RVer forever no matter what you did as long as you do the 100% every so often.
