Finally, for choosing the battery to purchase, this forum may be of help, https://diysolarforum.com/ and the guy who runs it, Will Prowse, has battery recommendations and interesting videos showing battery teardowns, https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/. |
At the recommendation of both Wavery and Rickst29, I made the decision to purchase the Progressive Dynamics unit. They both agreed that it was far superior to the WFCO unit I was originally intent on buying. It is "almost" a direct replacement, but the base of the power panel has to be cut out, easy to do, because this unit is about 1/4" taller than the OEM.

I also decided on the CHINS Smart 100 amp battery. Since we boondock frequently is cold temps and my battery is on the tongue, having the built in heater and bluetooth will be a plus. This is the battery.
