Thanks for the advice! Never heard of that. So in your opinion, flooded are better than gel? Again, I know about as much about batteries as I do rocket science. Are AGM considered Gell batteries?
No AGM are not gel and they last a lot longer and charge different. I have several AGM and they are 5 years old and show no sign of issues. Yes they are more money for them than lead acid. but no water to add and just keep them clean and charged with the proper charger.
Thanks for that! I like the idea of no watering and I'm certainly willing to pay a little more for quality, lasting batteries. So, brand suggestion and average price? Also, does the AH matter? Looking at a lot of battery types and they seem to be all over the board, from 100AH to 400AH. Seeing that I have 4, and a 40ft bus that we use a lot in dry camping areas, what's the best AH to look for, and brand. Thank you again!!
Anyone else? Love the education!
