Battery Recommendations?

There is lots of discussions about batteries from regular 24 to golf cart 6v to lithium. Here is my experience in the hope that it helps others make the choice that is right for them.

We have been running ONE Walmart 24 ms that cost $55 w/o tax for the last 8 months. We have had over 10 campground stops, 4 that were dry camping. The battery is still fully charged and ready to go.

Note: when dry camping, we run on the generator and shut most things down during quiet hours. We don’t watch TV with the battery, for example. Of course everyone uses power differently while camping.

For us, the bottom line is that a $55 battery works fine.

Good to go

It works well for you. That is what counts most.
Different strokes for different folks.
