Yes, Flow Rite!!! Couldn’t remember the name. So hard with two batteries one in front of the other with no space hardly over head to fill properly. Been in Fl. Almost 2 weeks so I probably should top them off again since they charge continuously! Great product and concept!!!!! Bob

The new Interstate RV batteries have more cranking amps than standard deep cycle batteries in same size (24, 27, etc) at not much higher price. They advertise that you get twice the cycle life. Seems like a good choice to me.

He did not address "made in mexico" label, but I have purchased various brand batteries over the years that have "made in mexico" on them. My point was, that the battery warranty is a marketing move and just like generic food items, many brands are made the same in the same factory. I have anther friend and his company makes several brand name surf boards - all the same - just different graphics.

We’ll be going with 2 x Duracell SLI27MDC Group 27 12 volt deep cycle ( This battery is not recommended for cranking. That’s only deep cycle … not for cranking … or for a combination cranking / deep cycle)

I currently have two DuraCell FLA 27s, and they've been good to us.
