Battery to power Dometic CFX 65

[Clweed]

I currently have this Battery in my eco flyer trailer and want to add another battery, no solar yet. Is it worth getting another of the same or go a different route

Thanks,

Deka makes good GEL, may even be the maker of that one.

Cared for precisely they can last much longer than AGM.

But a lot easier to murder, especially sensitive to overcharging.

Most robust of all is FLA, best battery value by far is Duracell (actually Deka/East Penn) FLA deep cycle golf cart batteries, 2x6V, around $200 per 200+AH pair from BatteriesPlus or Sam's Club.

AGM is more expensive and doesn't last as ling.

All batts in a bank should be same mfg, model and mfg date.

Key question, how are you charging each day?

How often getting to 100% Full? takes 5-7 hours on the charger.

@john61ct
Are these the batteries Duracell ?
I am new at this so looking for recommendations , I was planning on charging them using shore power and the charge line from the Jeep 7 way. I know there are a lot of variables but approximately how long would they power the fridge before needing charged
I plan on adding solar also, not sure which one.

Thanks,
