Replacement Batteries for 2021 Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen Fifth Wheel

Question

Question:

Good day. I’m looking at replacing my existing lead acid batteries with another lead acid battery in my wildwood heritage glen fifthwheel. I’m not ready to update/replace converters/inverters just yet. I’m looking for a powerful, good quality deep cell ‘marine’ type battery. What do you recommend? I see some lead acid batteries have a SLA sealed lead acid / AGM with it. My understanding is I cannot use an AGM battery unless I upgrade converter/inverter?

For a replacement I would check the size of what you currently have and match it. AGM is perfectly fine to use and won't require swapping out your converter/inverter since it uses the same charge profile as lead acid. An upgrade is typically required if you switch to lithium. You can choose one of the following based on your group number:

-Bright Way Deep Cycle RV or Marine Battery - AGM - 12V - 75 Ah - Group 24 # BRW34FR

-Bright Way Deep Cycle RV or Marine Battery - AGM - 12V - 100 Ah - Group 27 # BRW94FR

-Bright Way Deep Cycle RV or Marine Battery - AGM - 12V - 110 Ah - Group 30H # BRW44FR
