I had 2 X group 24 interstate deep cycle batteries and they were rated at 75AH each, the Duracell GC2 I replaced them with are rated at 230AH, so I went from 150AH to 230, much happier, I could not run the furnace through the night with the G24s, unless I set the thermostat to 40 or 50.

This season I have a 100 watt solar panel to add to the mix.
