I purchased one of these last Summer and can tell you that the brand is Duracell 12 volt 199.00 regular price. I then purchased an Exide brand at Farm and fleet 2 yr warranty. These have been hooked to the solar panels for 5 months. Stopped by my storage to pick up some things I needed for a project and checked the solar panel read out. 13.9 volts. Been a very good decision not having to worry about keeping the water checked and allow me to feel worry free knowing i will always have enough battery to get my slide outs to work.

It is a Duracell, but I don't know who actually makes it.

The specs are very close to my East Penn batteries I paid $245 for. At the time I was advised to check Sams about these, and I did, but I couldn't round up 6 in one place so I passed. I would have thought twice at this price.
