I've always gotten good service out of Interstate batteries.

if you're always plugged in, then the type or size or price is really up to you since you won't be making use of the battery much anyway...

House Battery

I would recommend anything made by East Penn and you can buy them at NAPA or probably any auto supply or RV dealer and even Amazon, just be sure you are getting a DC rated (Deep cycle) rather than DP (dual purpose) and go as high group rating you can get (24,27 and 31) I am using group 24 as that's what fits my Compass 23TB

I keep reading on this site that two 6 volt flooded golf cart batteries are better than two 12 volt deep cycle flooded
And you can still use your OEM converter with 6 volt batteries

I also read that the OEM standard WFCO converter will burn up AGM sealed batteries
So if you decide to go to AGM sealed, you either need to re-place your standard converter (or re-program your converter if it allows)

COSTCO has these for an excellent price
That's what i replaced my coach batteries with

But for a little more $$$...
I could have purchased the 6 volt's instead
