I am preparing to buy a battery to put in my new camping trailer. The current drainage will be very minimal as all lighting is LED. In addition, I have a couple small fans that pull 0.18a each, and a small water pump that pulls 2a. The water pump will only run when needed, and will never be in constant use.
I am thinking that a deep-cycle for my purpose would be a waste of money as the battery will never be "deep-cycled" to begin with. I am thinking a plain old car battery may actually be a better choice for my purpose. In addition, since the battery will get charged every time the trailer is hooked to the truck I may not even need a charger in the trailer.
For reference, I also have a 120v generator with 12v charging capabilities.
Opinions please! ...and ThanX in advance!
