Battery for caravan recomendations

I have a similar set up and it works fine for me. I am just going to add a couple of solar panels and regulator later on...that's all.

When it comes to battery's...brands etc??...everyone out there has opinion...but consider this, it is alright to be choosy when you are in the city where there is variety and competitive pricing BUT when you are out there in the bush (TOWNS) like tyres.... replacements do not come cheap. Keep it simple.

I am in same situation as you, Im about to purchase an AGM battery and considering a 105ah. I already have a similiar AGM battery in the van that was installed by manufacturer--Supreme. Have been looking at prices for Fullriver, Remco and also Lifeline. The latter battery is on the expensive side but I always reckon you only get what you pay for and the Lifeline does seem to be a quality product.However I am yet to make a decision.
I am also looking at the battery boxes currently on special with BCF----$54for BCF club members and they do seem to be good value.
Hope you find what your looking for.

There was a thread on AGM's the other day, more about buying them in Melbourne but it gives you an idea as to the vaiety of current prices. I don't know what state you're in Bones but try Supercharge Batteries. They're in eMelb, Syd, Newcastle, Adelaide, Bris & Perff. I got two 90 AH AGM's for 360 (inc GST) for use in a similar set-up to you. Running a 300W inverter tho.
Here's the LINK to the thread from a few days back.

There is no way for the ordinary person to easily determine what is a quality battery and what isn't.

If you read about 2 people saying they bought brand X and it's rubbish - ignore them. If you read about 20 people saying the same it's probably true.

I suggest buying one from a supplier who you feel cares about what he sells and has a good attitude towards his customers and then, unless you have a very good reason. buy the cheapest battery in your size he stocks.

In use; don't overcharge it, don't discharge it too deeply (70% is enough) and don't leave it at less than full charge for more than a day or so.

The fullriver AGM battery is as good as you can get and by what you have said you have a good set up. Think about getting a Solar panel to assist around 80watt, there are suitcase style ones about already set up to use for under $1000 complete with regulator and are free standing one just plugs them up to any 12v battery.

We have Fullriver AGM house batteries (5 @ 120A/hr) and a Plasmatronics 3 stage solar contoller.
Thave been in constant use for 5 years now and so far, so good.
I uggest that the controller is just as important as the choice of battry (probably more so).
I do understand that AGM batteries do not like to get hot and therefore should not be installed under the bonnet.
