jhofeditz Report post Posted September 7, 2020 Hi, I have a class A motor home with 4-6 volt batteries I need to replace. Should I stay with 6 volt or go to 12 volts? Wet or gel? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heisenhut Report post Posted September 7, 2020 Gel batteries are the best however, they are very very expensive . I have a Entegra Aspire and needed to replace the batteries. There were 4 batteries , two 6 volts in series to get 12 volts and each set of two 6 volts batteries in pararllel. Sam's club has 6 volt Golf cart Batteries that are the same (amp hours) as what batteries came with the coach when I purchase it new . They are $89.00/battery (See below) Have them in my coach now and has been over two years and no problems. Would not suggest replacing 6 volt with 12 volt batteries ^ 6 volt batteries in series will give you more amp hours of service. Thats the main reason 6 volt batteries, in series, are used in golf carts.

rsbilledwards Report post Posted September 7, 2020 Stick with 6 volters as there is more available power. Buy cheap cheap batteries you get what you pay for. I like wet cells and suggest Crown 260s first and Trojan 105s second but it is a toss up. Crowns will last ten years. Many want out of that 45 minute annual expense.

obiwan_canoli Report post Posted September 13, 2020 As an alternative, I suggest you research Lithium batteries... most expensive battery of all, but features, long life, 10 year warranty, quick recharge, and up to 90% DOD work very well, especially if you do much dry camping or boondocking. Check out Battle Born, GreenLife, and LifeBlue, to name a few... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
