RV Battery Buyers Guide

About This Buyers Guide: Every Battery on this list has low and high temp protection which I consider a requirement for the RV Battery. I will continue to and update this list as battery tech keeps improving and getting better. It’s also very important where you purchase Victron equipment. Amazon will not give Victron Support so there are recomendations below where to get the batteries and Victron Equipment to be supported. 

Best Value American Company:     Epoch Batteries: (Starts @ 22 cents Watt Hour)Low Price, Good Quality, Lots of Features and Connectivity.  

Epoch Batteries is one of the lowest priced batteries with a wide scale of available features. I would highly recommend  if you choose this battery to go through Current Connected. Going through Current Connected gives you an American Company contact when building your system which can make a huge difference. When you order from Current Connect you get an 11 year warranty. There batteries come with internal heating and Bluetooth. They even offer Victron Coms in a couple of the batteries.

Big Beard Batteries (52 cents watt hour). Is an American battery company in Texas. It is on the edge of pushing through boundaries being one of the first to come out with the over 300 amp hours in a single battery and has a healthy output all while being compact. Todd also packs these with features we aren’t seeing in all the other batteries like active balancing while offering options like internal heating and Bluetooth.

Lion Energy (66 Cents a Watt Hour) is a battery we have used for multiple years. It is an American Company and it has been extremely dependable and even after our last test is aging better than we expected. That said I do think they are on the higher end for price. But the dependability has it on the list of batteries I would recomend. If you use our code you can save 5% which can help bring that price down a bit. (Code ALLABOUTRVS) This Battery is the longest Warranty with a Lifetime Warranty.

105 AH $899   (66 cents per WH). Amps Out:  150 amps. cont.                                                       Dimensions: 10.2″x6.6″x9.8″   Weight 23lb (22lb Per 100ah)  Low Temp Protection

BattleBorn (59 cents watt hour) while at the top for the most expensive on the list it is a good American company with an amazing warranty. I have known a couple of people who have had to use the warranty service and had a good experience.  The game changer has the highest output on this list even though you would still need two to pair with the very popular Victron Multiplus Inverter. Battle Born has been one of the most well recognized and trusted names in the RV industry for batteries with a 10 Year Warranty.

270 AH $2,149   (58 cents per WH). Amps Out:  300 amps. cont.                                                       Dimensions: 22.83″x7.09″x13.15″   Weight 80lb (30lb Per 100ah) Cycle Life 3000-5000 Low Temp Protection                       

100 AH $749   (59 cents per WH). Amps Out:  100 amps. cont.                                                       Dimensions: 12.76″x6.86″x8.95″   Weight 31lb (31lb Per 100ah) Cycle Life 3000-5000 Low Temp Protection 

 

S.O.K. (24 cents a Watt Hour) Is one of those batteries that is hard to over look. They have consistently and dependably  put out a good battery for many years now and at a very reasonable price. I have been happy with the batteries I have from SOK but at this point I would prefer to go with the Epoch Battery on this list.  This is an overseas company with a warranty at 7 years I would purchase through Current Connected (Based In The U.S.) 

206Ah. $629 (24 cents a WH). Amps Out:  100 amps. continuous.                                            Dimensions: 12.3″x12.9″x7.9″   Weight   46lb (22.3 lb Per 100ah). Low Temp Protection

 

100Ah. $299 (24 cents a WH). Amps Out:  100 amps. continuous.                                             Dimensions: 10.6″x9.9″x7.9″   Weight   28lb (28lb Per 100ah). Low Temp Protection

WattCycle  (13 cents a watt hour) LOWEST PRICE  Is a very popular battery for a very low price. My preference would be the  Epoch battery or SunFunKits for a few cents more to be able to buy through an American Company and get more features like bluetooth and heat. The additional support is well worth it but his makes the list for being the lowest budget popular battery.   This is the option you look at for building a budget system where you might be aiming for a 200-300 amp hours and not trying to break the bank with a huge system. If you are looking for the lowest price possible this is the one with Low Temp Protection which is very important. This is also the lowest warranty at a 5 year Warranty (half the standard). Not all budget batteries have the low temp protection. And not all of them have working over current protection.

100 AH $169.89   (13 cents per WH). Amps Out:  100 amps. cont.                                                       Dimensions: 10″x6.6″x8.2″   Weight 23.2lb (23.2lb Per 100ah)  Low Temp Protection

 

 

Li Time  (16 cents a watt hour) WAS a very popular battery for a low price. This battery is popular but I would choose the Epoch battery for a few cents more to be able to buy through an American Company and at Current Connected and get more features like bluetooth and heat from 21 to 22 cents.  The additional support is well worth it but his makes the list for being a 100 AH For $259.99. Code “RVSAVER” saves you 3%.  This is the option you look at for building a budget system where you might be aiming for a 200-300 amp hours and not trying to break the bank with a huge system. This is one of the lowest cost batteries with low temp charge protection. .  It is on the list because it looks like a decent battery for a low price. If you are looking for the lowest price possible this is the one with Low Temp Protection which is very important. This is also the lowest warranty at a 5 year Warranty. Not all on Amazon have the low temp protection. And not all of them have working over current protection.

100 AH $259   (20 cents per WH). Amps Out:  100 amps. cont.                                                       Dimensions: 13″x6.77″x8.43″   Weight 31lb (31lb Per 100ah)  Low Temp Protection

 

 

230Ah. $469.99 (16 cents a WH). Amps Out:  200 amps. continuous.                                                           Dimensions: 19″x9.5″x6.7″   Weight   45.29lb (19.6lb Per 100ah). Low Temp Protection
