It's a 12V deep cycle marine battery. You can see Exide info here:https://assets.academy.com/mgen/20/10782820.pdf

We used to have a large 5th wheel RV. Our batteries powered a 120V AC inverter in addition to all of the 12V lights etc. Whenever we forgot to turn the inverter off it would discharge those batteries quickly.

Group 27 deep cycle. If you have the room consider the 29 or 31. Same widths but get longer.

Like they said, that's a 27 size 12v. That's on the small end for a deep cycle battery. If you have room, jump up to 29 or 31 size.
Have talked to a lot of people about Marine/ RV batteries for troller motors, and a lot of boat guys say the Walmart brand Marine Deep cycle batteries are really good, and much cheaper than other brands, and have a two year warranty.

That said, if you want the best quality/ lifespan, don't use a marine battery for an RV house battery. The main reason is most marine batteries are also meant for cranking purposes so the plate structure is made to deliver high amps for starting, but also have some ability to handle a long slow discharge. For most RV house batteries you don't need the ability to start an engine (generator starters don't usually draw that much power). Using a battery that is designed primarily for true deep cycling (long slow discharge rates) will get you longer battery run times, and longer service life.

Trojan and Crown make some nice batteries specifically for RV use.
True Deep cycle batteries for solar/wind power storage are usually the most expensive, but the higher end brands are sometimes able to last 15 years or longer. Fullriver and Surrette/Rolls for example.

Agreed. If you go the 29 or 31 route make sure to get the deep cycle version not the starting or combo.
