I too purchased two of the Pep Boys Bosch-premium, so my Aux Lead Acid matched my primary battery... as I have a dual battery charger, when plugged into shore power.

They have both performed exceptionally well!  The true test is to see how long an original fridge will run on 12V Aux Battery.  

Note: Pep Boys has a reward program too, so you may earn $10 in a reward rebate.

I'm somewhat price-insensitive for batteries considering how critical they
is, but for what it's worth, the Bosch from Pep Boys
<https://www.pepboys.com/bosch-premium-performance-battery-group-size-41/product/9073724>
has
been great. It's definitely not cheap, but is available and reliable. Be
sure to tie straps around it to ease getting in and out of the battery box.
