i appreciate the thought & feed back.

i wont buy anything from WMT - i know too much about them, dont ask how, cause i wont share (the world is too small a place)...but i know things about them that their employees dont know.

i am considering autozone & tractor supply - theyre most places we travel, and auto zone has good warranty on the duralast stuff (non pro-rated, complete replacement, for the 1st 5 years....at least on their automotive batts...i dont know if its different for deep's).

my local freightliner had some nice alliance batteries (850's for 60 each, and 1050s for 80 iirc)....figure theres plenty of FL dealers around too.

same w/ us on the generator or shore power - but what i USALLY do is break the battery connection if were sitting in the same spot for more than a couple of days....to prevent over charging.

when our unit is in storage i also switch the batteries off and use battery maintainer/chargers vs. the coach converter/charger.
