Starting batteries recommendation

I need to replace my starting batteries in my Thor Four Winds Super C MH. I am looking for any recommendations as to brands and maint. free vs conventional lead acid that you can add distilled water. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I would take the battery out and head over to either NAPA or Autozone you tell them this is what was in the MH and what do they have to replace it. Really quite simple. Your starting battery is not something exotic.

Get one from WalMart. Their line of batteries are made by Johnson Controls, the same company that makes batts for Interstate, Autozone, Advance as well as Optima. They are also the cheapest and WalMarts are every where with easy to deal with warranty service. I have used them for the last 20 years and WalMart has even replaced a battery at no cost to me.

Walmart plus battery. Easy warranty across the country. And here's why the battery:

I have the Walmart for regular vehicles and the below for harsher things.

For a chassis battery: I'd get one from Interstate.
Tehy do offer both AGM and FLA designs.

Sealed or AGM, brand don't matter much

As noted Walmart is good but don't always have the best selection on hand

I usually get batteries at Batteries Plus as the selection and price (you can ALWAYS take a 10 or 20% discount by asking for it). Only thing I’d add to the discussion is to check the date code on the battery and be sure to get one that’s fresh. I’ve seen some on store shelves that are 6 - 8 months old.
