[QUOTE=Pete'sMH;174599]I went through this entire thought process just recently and decided to replace my two 6 volt lead acid batteries with 2 new 6 volt lead acid batteries. Looked at Trojan 105s but settled on a pair of Duracell Ultras from Batteries Plus. Dirt cheap, same warranty and easy. Originals lasted nearly 5 years so it seemed like the logical plan. I did add a remote watering system so I don’t have to fuss with checking the water quite so often. We’ll see how it goes.[/QUOTE

As previously discussed...
For 90% of RV owners, 12 volt deep cycle flooded batteries are sufficient.
The next obvious choice is what you did with 6 volt flooded golf cart batteries.

Even when an inverter and/or solar is added, the two flooded types are generally used and work fine for most RVers.

As you say...“Dirt cheap, same warranty and easy. Originals lasted nearly 5 years so it seemed like the logical plan”

Thanks for contributing to the topic.
