Do some research and you will find that batteries at stores from Costco to autozone to napa etc. all come from just a few manufactures. Labels don't change their origin or design. Of course there is size and capacity classes of em but made by the same dudes. I think there is 3 main manufactures. People are hung up on brand names like Diehard etc. not realizing they can buy same Batt. with another label much cheaper at another store!! Example: Johnson Controls inc. makes Interstate, DieHard, Duralast, Kirkland, Everstart, Pro start, Optima, Advance autoParts, Ford, Dodge, Honda, Toy, Nissan, Isuzu, Acura etc etc. Sooo, Do some research and save your $$$ people!!

The good batteries, like Trojan's and Odysesy's to name two, utilize new pure lead plates. So no, batteries are not the same.AGM - Gel - Lead batteries are not all the same either.Then there's amp hours, which is very important when buying RV batteries for those who dry camp, like I do.And then there's discharge cycles that weigh into RV battery life.So yeah, batteries are not all the same. 6 years and going strong with a pair of Trojan AGM group 31's in my RV. Far outlasted the the 3 years of Interstate lead acid group 31's my RV previously had.So pound for pound, amp hour for amp hour, lead for AGM and discharge cycle to discharge cycle, the added cost of the Trojans has already paid for themselves vs. the Interstate's. And the Trojans have at least another 2-3 years of life left in them.So, do your homework people. You going to keep your RV, spend the money on good batteries. You have a short term sell it plan, buy the cheapies, cuz not all batteries are the same......
You can keep your 500$ batteries! Im poor. The post did ask for cheap. I will just return my 5year old camp battery to walmart when it dies for core and spend 90$. Trojans are the next level and sound really good! Ribbed for pleasure too!
