Give Western Rose a call Dave. I bought a pair of their 6volt rv batteries 2 years ago...every bit as good as my old Trojans, but around half price.

Try Costco. 115.00 bucks for 6 volt batteries I have had them for 2 years with no problems
heavier batteries than the ones I got from the battery doctors
Last fall I picked up 2 for a friend from Costco after his we're stolen off his trailer for 49.00 each

My mom uses a golf cart to get around the farm, had both hips replaced. The trojans that were in the cart were done, would not last a day around the yard. Called up the Interstate man that comes to the truck dealership. I paided just abit over $900 for 6 of them. No idea if there really interstate, or just a sticker. Price seems inline, as I got dealer cost @ work.

I agree on calling western rose. The shops great. Jim is absolutely excellent at what he does.

I will let ya know after next trip....I ran 'er dead one night (first time with this rig) but we did leave the inverter on all night...usually I shut 'er off after TV and snacks at 3 am...haha. I was kinda cranky as I couldn't even fire the genny...had to fire up the chassis motor to boost the coach batts. (oh...and most moho's have a "boost" switch on the dash that will let you boost the big motor from the coach batts...found out that it doesn't work the other way if the coach batts are so dead they won't even activate the solenoid to click over...du'oh)

Leaving the inverter on all night should not have done that unless you had something else on. I leave mine on from the moment I get camping till I leave, to lazy to shut it off and on.

That's what I thought too. So I suspect my batts may be hoopered. I had the RV at Bucars from Oct until Feb for insurance hail repair and I guarantee the batts were drawn waaay down and not maintained.

Does sounds like a frozen problem.

I left my own switch on too.
All winter.
Thought my batts would be froze and f'd but a couple days each on the slow charge and they were good to go. They are deep cycle 6v batts. I believe they are interstates.
I usually get 4-5 years out of them and I never take them out of the trailer. Just disconnect them and slow charge them separately before winter.
6v deep cycles are the only way to go.

Need a new rv battery as mine was just ripped out of the trailer in the driveway. Can anyone suggest a make/model/amps/shop near Edmonton, ect to look for in a 6V setup? Thanks in advance.

Are you looking for batteries?

Can you hook us up?

A few years ago I tried the 6V batteries from NAPA, that were made for older tractors. They worked great!!! We were camping for 7 days on battery power only, and on the 8th day we had to fire up the genny. I only have a single 12 now, and a very quiet genny. But I would be interested in going back to 2-6's!
