6V AGM Batteries

I have no experience with those batteries but where did you see it in 6 volt? Every one I looked at on their website is a 12 volt battery.

Edit: Finally found one! The MB6-225 but it is $300. Are there others that are less expensive? I had excellent luck with the Trojan T-105's that lasted about 9 years and they were a heck of a lot less than that.

Check out VMAX ChargeTanks. They make a 6-volt GC2 225AH AGM that is about as economical and competent as one will find for an AGM. I found them for $250.

Look up the Lifeline AGM battery web site. We've been using their batteries for years. We have over 500w of solar panels, a conventional refrig, 2 satellite dishes and boondock a lot. These are pricey, but they last and they work!!

I recently replaced by old and tired Lifeline AGM batteries with exact replacement Universal Battery AGM's. The cost 1/2 what a Lifeline cost and with a little over a year of usage on them I am very happy.

Hi Bill,

Do the Universals require the same high charge rate as the Lifelines?

Thanks all for the responses. I know that Trojan and Lifeline are very good batteries and will last a long time if cared for. I was just trying to find an AGM in 6V that was a little more affordable than the Trojans and Lifelines. I'm wanting to move my house battery bank out of the stock metal can designed for the batteries due to size and the only location I have is under on the the bench seats of the kitchen table which is in the living space. If I use any flooded cell battery I have to figure out how to vent them. I can really only go down under the coach which suggest a powered vent. Really didn't want to do that. So, trying to figure how I might be able to afford AGM's. They don't require a vent. I was really looking to find if any of you have used or heard of this VMAS Charge Tank batteries and if they are any good. They say the plates are made to mil spec. I suppose that good but really don't know.

Thanks for your help.

There are also Fullriver DC224-6 6-volt GC2 AGM batteries which cost around $270. Two year replacement warranty followed by three year prorated. Battery Systems in Reno carries Fullriver.

I have four Fullriver DC220-6 Group 27 6-volt AGM batteries and they are very good. I think you would be satisfied with either Fullriver or VMAX.

Check these out at $260 ea

I have 4 of the VMAX 6V AGMs. They've been in for a year now (in storage last 4-5 months). No problems. Have had them down to about 60% charge once and they worked like a champ.

A year is hardly a fair shake for a deep cycle AGM though. They'd have to be pretty horrible to wear out in a year!
