12v batteries

[monsterwash]

Hello everyone, Im John from West Virginia, New to the site, hope all is well with everyone out there. Thought I would get some feedback on marine batteries, Just got the dual pump system from Bill at the power wash store and was going out tomm for a good batt to power the system, any suggestions

From what I have been told the best setup is dual 6v rv batteries.

Thanks for the input, The system I bought has only one battery tray however, I've never used 6v batteries, not sure how I would go about the wiring. Don't really want to mess with the wiring that came with the unit

I just get the top of the line Napa marine/RV deep cycle. Keep it charged and it'll be fine

Any thoughts on a cost effective charger

A friend of mine is a service tech for a camper dealership, he suggested charging the batt off the trailer plug and my truck

I just had to replace mine this weekend. One I had for 15 years quit in me. I got one at Academy for 80$. Make sure you get a maintenance charger.

Just checked them out, saw the rally quick 10 amp for 80 dollars. How many amps did you get

 

[Doug Rucker]

I think it was 20

Yea nice site but I agree with Doug. Bad idea with the text.

 

[monsterwash]

You mean the font or the text color against the darker background

 

[monsterwash]

you think maybe something brighter for the text

 

[DeJay]

I think different font and white back ground with black text would work the best. Jmo.

Bingo! The battery that runs my 12 volt has been on my rig for the past 4 yrs and I've never had to charge it with a charger. I run a wire from my truck battery to a harness at the back of my truck. I use a welder connector plug with wiring that goes to the battery on my trailer. Whenever my truck is pulling my rig it is connected and always charging the battery.
