[C320-list] Battery

[Chris Burti]

I bought Exxide Commercial 4D truck batteries, the specs were almost identical to deep cycle and the last set lasted 10 years. A good charger, keeping the water level maintained and not drawing them down below 50% were the key to longevity.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I know there’s lots of threads on batteries and everyones opinion on what is best. I’m pleased with the 4D style battery and don’t want to reconfigure anything. I purchased a less expense $250 4D from the local RV store (I only use one since I race a bunch and don’t want the extra weight. They’ve only lasted about 3 years. I’m wondering what brand you suggest that will have a better life? Or perhaps cheap batteries for 3-years is a better value.
