Try a Batteries Plus store, their batteries are fresh, I can attest to that, and come with a pretty solid warranty. I know when I was at the truck stop looking at their batteries, none were up to snuff, they had little to any charge on them and when checking the dates... Those babies had been there awhile.

Myself, I'm running four wet cell old school Duracell group 31 in the battery box, $99 ea from Batteries Plus, they were just a few weeks old. In the sleeper, one deep cycle AGM battery that is connected to the battery box with the solar panels... Even one 100 watt panel with a controller will keep all of them fresh, even on cloudy days.

If you are concerned about battery health and longevity, seriously look at a solar panel and an inexpensive controller. Worth every penny.

I remember you had mentioned that before, I was going to do the two center batteries deep cell and the two outside ones regular batteries. I have my inverter hooked to the two center ones now. Well, I have the negative on one and the positive on the other. But all the batteries are connected like every other truck. I just have this thought that it would pull more from the center ones. Is that a blond moment or am I on to something....Lol
