Lithium prices have come down far enough you should consider converting.

I have Battleborn now but you need to make sure your converter/charger likes lithium batteries. Before that I found the glass AGM batteries served me better than the 6v Trojans. It's all about how much you want to spend.
Hope this helps,
Brian

If you go with AGMs I'd suggest Lifeline batteries. Well know brand and have been around a long time. I had good luck with them in a previous motorhome.
Duracell AGMs treated me well too in my current rig. I finally removed them and and put in a Lithium (LifeBlue) because of weight considerations.Larry KE4DMG

I have a pair of Deka 6v. Only got them last year so I can't give any opinion other than they've been reliable so far and I've had good luck with Dekas.

Ditto @traveldawg regarding Duracell AGM's. Have purchased several over the years for our boat which has 36v trolling motor and a starting battery. The last set lasted 6 years but very well maintained, never below about 50% and always on a good float charger. But if you can afford the $$, I recommend lithium. My 206AH SOK is performing admirably and I'm still using the stock converter. Check out Will Prowse on YouTube for all things lithium.

I was looking into Lithium batteries for my toy hauler but I can't justify cost. You will need to change your converter, and add a dc to dc charger or you can overload your truck alternater.
I am sticking with AGM for now but we don't dry camp that often to justify Lithium.2022 Momentum 21G
