Lithium batteries are pretty cost effective these days, you can get a 300AH off amazon that will last 20 years and remember, lithiums can be run down to zero, where lead acids / AGM get damaged going down to just 50%. A single 100AH (very cheap) would likely out perform those used lead acids you're using, and not need to be replaced.

I have 460 Amp Hour in my RV, thing will outlast the water now and the solar keeps it topped off (by noon). Even no solar it's good for 5~ days using everything. 460ah is the equivalent to about 18 car batteries

Thanks, is there a brand name for those battery’s? Are they 48 volt?


Mine is an Epoch for RV's, but here is their golf cart battery line up
