Battery Compartment leak ( Up Date)
Found out it was the battery, thanks to some of your suggestions. I went and purchased a Hydrometer, I had 2 cells bad in one of the batteries. My question it seems like the battery just leaks when it...

Assuming you have 2 pairs, you can remove one pair and still have 12 volts power, leave your converter/inverter/charge powered up, and leave the shore power connected. Everything will work. Half normal reserve capacity but as you are plugged in, not an issue.
I had to disconnect and remove one of my interstate workhorse chassis batteries last fall when a cel shorted, it started heating up and drawing lots of current from the charger. Pulled it out, along with it's cables. The one still there will crank the diesel no problem.
New batteries in the spring.
On the AGM question (for the house batteries, my big question would be reserve capacity?
The u2200's and T105's claim 220 ampere hours per battery (half useable) so a 4 battery bank gives 220 ah useable capacity.
So... will an equivalent size AGM bank give more reserve power? And how much more?
I've heard of batteries that let you use it all, not just 50%, but don't think they were AGM, something else, and buku expensive.
