[A/S] AGM batteries



I had an extra battery compartment installed on my '77 31ft. I paid about 
127.00 ea for AGM batteries. I can tell you we ran nessassary lights, water 
pump, 15in LCD TV (for morning news and evening prime time) and it lasted 3 
complete days/nights. then went dead. I'm considering one 75watt solar panel 
from A&J at the VT rally. they said one sunshine day and both batteries would 
be charged. yet others I see have two panels????
then again, there's only one rally per year I go to without hookups~!
But, parked in the driveway, during the winter, the batteries would be 
maintained. Might be worth it.
there was a Trailer Life article and it seemed that Lifeline batteries were 
the best.

I got two "marine AGM" batteries at my local Peugeot/Marine Dealer (not 
kidding) but they had screw fittings.....ugh, and I had to get 
adapters....the lifelines, should have normal fittings.
it was either the AGM or OPTIMA, I wanted LONG LASTING battery power and the 
AGM's seemed to win out.
I overdue EVERYTHING, just ask Hunter.....
