Ive got two extra battery's in the tub for running the fridge and aux lights ,Its time to replace them as one of them is not holding charge anymore( I guess I may as well change both as most appliances suggest not to mix old and new batteries) . Ive got a redarc bcdc 1220 as the main charger.
Whats the best options(new battery technology) out there at the moment(budget of $600ish budget) for 2 replacement batteries?
Ive been using two 75amp deep cycle batteries for the last few years and if possible I would like more a bit more, ps, I usually drive around 100ks a day. thanks.
 
Click here to see what I would consider to be the ideal battery. It's just a shame that it costs so much. Not sure how that charger would go with it - the BCDC is designed for lead acid batteries and this ain't one.

Nice things about LiFePO4 - constant voltage during discharge. Discharge to 100% without worry. Non-corrosive interior. Generally find lifespans of 10+ years (expected) compared to an expected lifespan of 3-5 years (crankers) and 5-8 years (AGM) (figures vary depending on what you're reading or who you're talking to).

Failing that here's a far more reasonably priced choice that fits the mark (and check the weight of this 165Ah sucker, then go back and look at the LiFePO4 200Ah unit). This unit - while it's heavier than many teenage children - is an AGM battery (so it's robust) and won't need a change in charger.
 
Is that one AGM? For that price it seems flooded cell, yet mentions AGM?
 
Actually read prices wrong, ignore that^^^

Has anyone looked at century batteries?
 
Yes it's an AGM, the reason i was looking at this battery was that it was about the same size as my now dead Odyssey. And the price is a lot better.
Price is $319 and free delivery from this place.

Was told by Battery World that this is the battery that comes standard in a lot of large RV's.
And it's a 100ah.

Also for those wanting batteries behind the back folding seats, see the long skinny ones, they might fit.
