I need two AGM batteries for a trailer that will power a large fridge, led lights, run a 1000w inverter, charge small electronics etc. I am undecided on the solar setup but it will be around 150/200w. I'll have power coming from the jeep while in transit.
After looking here and elsewhere I am trying to verify the consensus was or still is that northstar and odyssey are still go to brands for the task. Specifically looking at the NorthStar Group 31 103Ah AGM Deep Cycle Battery and the Odyssey 31M-PC2150ST Battery 100ah. I considered an east penn/intimidator because there is an east pen facility north of where I live but I've seen a some recent reviews of trouble getting their distributors to honor the warranty. And after having two optima die in less than a year and issues with their warranty I won't touch those.
From what I have seen in reviews it looks like the northstar very slightly edges out the odyssey in personal preference as the warranty is the same and specs are almost the same. With a discount and free shipping the northstar's are $12 cheaper ea.
With that said are there any other options I should be looking at that can handle heat, cold, vibration, hard use etc?
