RV Battery: How Do You Choose the Right One?

[roripet]

Hello everyone.

I’m planning to replace my current RV battery before my next camping trip and want to choose the right type. I’m comparing lead-acid, AGM, and lithium options, but I’m not sure which one offers the best balance of price, capacity, lifespan, and maintenance.

I normally camp both with and without hookups, so dependable power is important. For those who have experience with an RV battery, what type has worked best for you?

How much capacity would you recommend for basic lights, appliances, and electronics?

I’d also appreciate any advice about charging, installation, and common mistakes to avoid when purchasing a new battery.

Lithium is the go to for the future. Might as well jump on board now. Lighter, more capacity and you don't have to worry about damaging them if you use them as needed.
