Id recomend getting Li ion batteries LFP?
Cost more but much lighter and can be discharged to zero without damage.

Hi,
Do a search on you tube for his name.
He tears apart batteries to see what is inside. He does some tests.
I don't find a lot of truly useful information from him.

Lots of great info on YouTube. Once you watch a couple, the popular ones will be suggested by YouTube. Pair those with the advice given here. I'm not new to RVs but new to solar and learning myself right now.
I would definitely go lithium batteries. Dealt with enough battery issues over years that I'll take higher initial costs for better performance and similar costs over time. There are special considerations for lithium on your other components so may sure everything is matched.

Will has and does do more then tear down batteries. His older vids are very helpful in many aspects.
He also has an excellent website with many helpful folks:

If you lopk around the site, he has free installation diagrams.
