The original battery (can't remember the brand) that came with trailer, didn't work very well at all. Replaced it with two 6 volt Trojan T-105's and made all the difference in the world. Couldn't find a battery box though so I made my own.

Trojan T-105 6 volts for me. Trojan's are the most popular battery for golf carts and they charge them 1000's of times so I would think if properly maintained they would last for many years. I keep my battery's on a battery maintainer when at home and have had no problems. Mine are only 3 years old but expect 6 to 8 years of life from them. I also had to make a battery box for 2 but that was no problem.

Mostly depends on what you do. If you never dry camp your standard battery (like a car battery), should last 5 years or so, never draining it all the way down (50% for anything other than Lithium). If you dry camp and discharge to the max frequently, 2 years or less for anything other than Lithium.
