Battery Compartment with Acid Spills
My RV has a compartment with 6 6V house batteries (not a slide out). It has a watering system which had utilized a one gallon container and a lever for on/off to keep batteries topped off. Well......

Get rid of the irrigation and acid and go to AGMs. No maintenance.
X2... it was the best thing that we ever did on our previous coach. I watered those darn batteries for 6 yrs. and enjoyed AGM's for the rest of ownership (1.5 more years).
We had eight house batteries and they sulfated rusting the trays. Once I went to AGM's, I had the trays painted and everything stayed nice and clean.
We now have Lithium Ion batteries that are the ultimate in clean. We have 3 batteries that are probably replacing at least 10-12 AGM's. But, they are a commitment price-wise and will last at least 10 yrs. The prices on them are falling everyday.
Good luck and safe travels,
MM.
