Interstate Batteries was founded in 1952 and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. It sells batteries for cars, trucks, boats, RVs, power equipment and more through a large network of dealers and installers across the country. When we replace a lead-acid or AGM RV battery, we install Interstate.
We are an independent installer. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Interstate Batteries, Inc.
Interstate batteries in RVs
RVs use Interstate batteries in a few roles:
- Deep-cycle house batteries. Built to be drained and recharged repeatedly to run the RV's 12-volt system.
- 6-volt deep-cycle batteries. Often used in pairs, wired in series, as an RV house bank. See 6-volt vs 12-volt.
- AGM batteries. Sealed, no watering. See AGM RV batteries.
- Starting batteries for motorhome chassis and tow vehicles. See chassis battery replacement.
Why we install Interstate
A few reasons. They are widely available, so we can stock the common RV sizes. There is a large dealer network, which matters when you travel and need warranty help away from home. And they make the full range of lead-acid and AGM types RVs use, from starting batteries to deep-cycle.
Interstate and lithium
Interstate has also sold lithium products for some applications. For RV lithium upgrades, we look at the whole system first and talk through options. See lithium upgrades.
Warranty
Interstate batteries carry Interstate's warranty, which varies by battery. We go over the warranty for your battery when we install it.
Florida notes
No lead-acid battery loves Florida heat. Keep them charged, keep water levels up on flooded models, and use the disconnect in storage. See how long RV batteries last in Florida.
About specs: Battery makers update models, capacities and warranties often. We don't list specs here because they change. Check the maker's current spec sheet, or ask us, before buying.
