Hello All,
It is time to replace my house batteries. I have 2 Trace 4024 inverters currently with 8 big house batteries. They are NAPAs and I want go with Lifelines. Any recommendations on how to proceed.
Thanks

What year and conversion? Are they 8D or 4D?
If you’re near Sanford, Donnie can fix you up, if not, contact me for your Lifelines, the price will be right. Trans-Specialists RV Batteries

Hello,
My conversion is a 1998 Featherlight and I am not sure if 8D or 4 D...I will take a look soon and let you know.
Thanks
Hello,
I looked and they are NAPA 4D batteries, I have 8 in my 1998 Featherlight conversion. There is about 1 inch of side room which I assume would allow me move up to 8D. I don't do a any dry camping except some overnight stays at a Walmart when on the way to a location.
I would like to be able on my overnights when not on shore power (on cool times when AC is not needed) to be able to have power for my Fridge, chargers ect to be able to run without kicking my generator on.
Thoughts on 4 D vs 8D. I notice Gil, you have said you run 2 batteries and that is enough for the basics. For me it is the budget I want to spend. I do what to go with Lifelines. If I had all the money the world I would get 8 8D batteries, but I need to be conservative.....thanks!!
Not sure where I said two would be enough. It could be for a 12V coach, but a 24V coach should probably go with 4 or more 4D or greater batteries. When I reengineered my DC system I went with 4 4D batteries and, for our use, works. FWIW, I run 2 roof airs off of my inverters, but only when the engine is running.

Do yourself a favor and replace them with 8 4D Lifeline AGM batts. You do not have a separate generator battery and you require the capacity for the system to operate as designed and need the reseve capacity to start the gen when the voltage drops to the autostart set points. DO NOT let someone tell you different. If they do, give them my number 386-473-9078
I just purchased directly from manufacturer, delivered on a pallet very quickly and very new date codes.
took old batteries in for scrap, got 300 bucks back, to me a good deal.
