What truck batteries do you use and how long do they last?

Actually they are Alliance, Canada, as most of the FRTLR parts.

 

If you want to do it right, get 4 6V 200-220ah batteries (golf cart batteries). Wire them in series parallel and with an isolator. Leave your CCA batteries for what they’re designed for, starting.

 

I don't anybody learned anything about batteries in 2022.

Batteries appear to be approaching the $200 range these days.

 

Just bought 4 from Freightliner for $85.00 a piece 1000 cca

 

they've almost doubled at autozone and wally.

 

LOL was just reading through this thread and saw someone said they got theres for $85.... was thinking man those were the days, now they are $300 for an AGM

 

East Penn make the Alliance batteries for DTNA (Freightliner and Western Star.)
