Hi Ann,
I purchased Full River DC120-12v batteries and have had no issue with them. I have used them previously with good results, but with all batteries it all depends how you look after them.
I am sure you will get a varied number of responses to this question. It is a bit like which 4wd is the best scenario.
As a side note I had to remake my battery box due to the size of the batteries. It was about 20mm too narrow. If you have a timber battery box you may wish to measure it up first to ensure they fit.
When looking for my batteries I found quite a variance in price so it does pay to do your research.
Good luck with your quest.

Cheers

Ken

I have Fullriver 4 x 120ahr, they fitted into the battery boxes very snug. I paid $1400

Many vanners are choosing Lithium these days, I didn't because of extra expense with set up plus my previous batteries lasted 8.5 years and I'm hoping these will do similar.

Have a look on the Bushtracker Forum, General Owners Discussion, Lithium Upgrade.
Also have a good read on enerdrive.com.au

Our Fullrivers have performed faultlessly since 2008, however if and when we replace them, I would seriously consider Lithium, for weight saving and better performance. Better performance means less batteries are needed so the cost becomes nearer to comparative.

Don't forget to put a rubber mat under them and make sure they have zero room to bounce around in the box and that the box is secured to the floor.
