Deep-cycle RV batteries -which is best?

With so many deep cycle batteries on the market, how do you decide which one will suit your needs?

RVs, campers, and trailers all require deep cycle batteries. But the critical difference is how much energy each vehicle type requires.

LEARN MORE

Campers are the smallest among all three vehicle types.

People often take these vehicles camping for short periods. The priority is to be a portable, compact, and lightweight battery

For trailers, people usually park them in trailer parks with easy access to shore power. So, you might not need a battery with such high capacity

LEARN MORE

An RV is larger, and it can fit more people

Which is why it’s a better idea to invest in a heavy-duty battery with a higher capacity.

The 4 RV battery types available Flooded Lead Acid Battery Gel batteries Glass Mat (AGM) batteries Lithium-ion batteries Some are better choices than others

LEARN MORE

The older battery types

Gel, and AGM, were popular choices because they’re maintenance-free. As a result, they have a lower upfront cost but a short life span.

How Does A Lithium Battery For RV Work?

Lithium-ion batteries are a relatively new option for RV batteries, compared to AGM models, and use a different charging profile
