SMB RV battery

My battery is five years old and starting to wear out. What's the best battery? Also, how does disconnecting battery to replace with new one affect inverter?

Re: SMB RV battery

Lots of opinions out there on types, brands and sizes. Some find a place with a good warranty on a cheap battery and replace them more often. Some have found blems for on the cheap and run them till they die. Or go with a high end type like Lifeline or Deka. Kind of depends on what you're running currently size wise. Most people are using 12v AGM types.A few use 6 volt golf cart batteries. Myself I don't want a wet cell battery that requires water maintenance but several RV friends of mine use them. I'm seeing more 6 v AGM types these days.
For my needs I like having a couple of 4D 210 AH batteries on board but the norm coming out of SMB is a single 12v 4D AGM @ about 200AH. Sears platinum series is even a well made smaller amp hour AGM battery. Lots of choices.
