It's only a 100aH battery, so two of them will give you 200aH's, but because I don't believe any hybrid battery can be a true "deep cycle" I would never take it past 50% SOC.. so only 100aH's usefullness (IMHO). Dual T-105s will give you around 200aH's before the battery starts to get damaged. Repeatedly.It also costs twice what a T-105 does.

Thanks Furpod for the quick reply.
I had done a fair amount of research regarding RV batteries and had not run into much about these, and I thought that in its self says something.
The one thing that did catch my attention was the shorter charging time which meant less hours of running the generator.
He also pointed out they were built to handle bouncing around and I thought how much more bouncing could you get than in a golf cart?
There was a few more things mentioned but his comments made me hesitant to buy the Trojans. I am new to RVing and anxious to get started off on the right foot.
Wife and I spent 40 plus years in a tent and I am now retired and looking forward to numerous trips this summer in the Rpod.
Anyway I walked out of there a bit confused and frustrated.
Thanks
And Have a Great Day Sir
