Typically Trojans are sold only in battery shops and maybe some larger marine or RV stores. Places that specialize in golf cars too. We have no idea what may be available in your area.
You can inquire about retail outlets by zipcode on the Trojan site.

Machine99 I live in Canada but bought them at a local Battery Dealer. I could have bought them on line but the delivery charge put them above the local shops price.

I used the Trojans in my sailboat for years. We spent a lot of time at anchor and living totally off the grid in the Caribbean. They were work horses. I had 4 6v @ 420 ah. Love them

If you want really good batteries try Rolls Surrette, I have been using them for 25 years in solar applications. Check the plate thickness and compare.

While you're pondering, you might take a look at these Duracells.

True they are 220 AH vs 230 AH but for $40-$50 less.

T 105 gets my vote
I am on my second set of T 105 batteries. My first set lasted 6 years. Then bought interstate, and paid a Hugh price because I was traveling in Florida at the time. They lasted less that 4 years. Next I bought Duracell’s at Sams Club to save a few bucks. They lasted less than less than 2 years. Went back to Trojan and they are now on their 3rd year and going strong.

Been RVing for 12 years. Have always used Interstate GC2 batteries. Our first RV with 2 Interstates was our first experience with deep cycle batteries. They didn't come with instructions. They only lasted about 2 years. Replaced with same and they didn't last much longer. Since the depth of my pockets exceeded that of my battery knowledge, I just assumed these batteries were only good for 2 years. Once I read a bit on battery maintenance, things changed. We are currently on our 4th year with Interstates on our motorhome. They have been properly maintained and are still performing well.

I've also had very good service from Trojan T-105 batteries. Our last set lasted almost 10 years and were still going strong when we sold the motor home. I also add mineral oil to each cell to reduce the outgassing.
These guys usually have the best price on Trojan batteries.

Our current motor home has Napa GC-2 golf cart batteries and they are doing well at the 3 year mark.
I would not recommend the large 8D 12v batteries to anyone using them in a constant discharge/charge cycle.
I Installed four huge Lifeline 8D 12V AGM batteries in our Executive. They were low maintenance but at the two year point two of the four were bad and had to be replaced. It previously had Interstate 8D batteries and they also did not last more than 3 years.

Agree with a lot of the Trojan Battery comments above. I currently have the T-105s and when they go I will buy them again!
