Before I bought my RV I was thinking I needed to get those 6V batteries because the ACE 29.3 I was looking at had Residential Fridge.

I check the water in batteries; but I don't like it even though I have easy access, and I don't want a distilled water filler upper or whatever it is called

So if I follow, if I could find two of these, I was would 2 smaller batteries (Group 29) with total of 240ah; maintenance free, 2 year warranty for total of $175 What am I missing? Will I be giving up something go from 31 to 29 that I don't know?

Before this thread, I hads assume my 1st set of batteries that I buy for this coach was going to be Group 31, AGM and as many amp hours as possible ,but most all of the AGMs are like 105 ah



AGMs are nice but pricey. Usually have a better warranty tho. As for me the group 31 wont fit in my Vegas tray. The two 29s are the biggest battery I can go with and at that price hard to beat.



My Dodge Diesel has 2 of the 31 series with like 1100 cranking amps each. Now hears a story no one is going to believe. My 06 Ram had 2 of those factory batteries, that I finally replaced after 10 1/2 years. Never had to add a drop of water!!!!!!
