Appreciate your input and advice.

You needing chassis or coach batteries?
If for coach be sure they are true deep cycle, not dual purpose or marine type.
If there's CCA, CA or MCA numbers listed on the top they are not true deep cycle batteries. You want group 24, 27 or 31 batteries with the most aH (amp hours) that will fit into your battery compartment. Coach batteries typically last 4-5 years if water levels are maintained, topped off with distilled water & not allowed to be discharged below 50% too often.
If the chassis battery is needed you want the most CCA or CA (cold cranking amps or cranking amps) you can find. Chassis batteries should last 5-7+ years like most any other vehicle you've owned.
