Replacing House Batteries

[Webz]

When I replaced the house batteries, I went with AGMs. The off gassing causes so much corrosion. Ended up replacing ALL the cables due to the corrosion traveling up the cables. The replacements were one size larger welding cables. Welding cables are so much easier to work with being finer strands.
Don't forget to change the settings for charging.

My interstate went 10 yrs. Had Sam club Duracell in another coach that didn't last 4 yrs. "Sometimes you get what you pay for"

I just replaced my 8 house batteries with Trojan t105. We full time so I found a local golfcart dealer that delivered them to the campground and took the old ones. Paid 200.00 each. Looked into the Duracells at Sam’s but went with the Trojans since they delivered them.

If you're not doing a lot of boondocking, you could just replace the 8 with 4. Less weight and expense.

Or, if your inverter can provide Lithium charging profiles, you could do what I did and replace all 8 with 1 Epoch Lithium 460a 12v unit. Ours has worked great for the past year. going that route also removed over 500 lbs (batteries and that heavy steel tray) and added a lot of storage space. If you need more capacity, add another 460a. Still much less weight and a lot cleaner than the original setup.
