I have winterized my 2014 coach for this year. As always I removed the batteries and took them to the basement for recharge and storage. I picked the first one up and before I could get it to the work bench I dropped it. Really nice crack in the year old battery.
Well I cussed, fussed and was really PO'd, so I cleaned up the mess and picked up the 2nd battery and placed it on the work bench. (You thought I was going to say I dropped it also).
Now I have read enough to know when replacing batteries you should always replace all batteries of the same catagory at the same time. So next spring I will replace my coach batteries, but what do I do with one good battery (6v)?
Are the new AGM batteries worth the cost?

The batteries are only a year old, just buy one new of same model and all will be well.
AGM's are nice but worth it???? questionable but they do have a loyal following without question. Functionally they have little advantage but maintenance is easier. One the other hand good old lead acid last about as long and require little fuss and bother if you have a good inverter/charger. Install a battery watering system and give them a shot once a month or so and you're all set. No need to have a messy battery compartment and you will never take the caps off.
