Will a sealed battery work with a camper the ones that say you do not have to add water.
Yes in fact many use them..
The issue however is battery life Depending on your converter and camping practices a non-sealed top-offable may last longer.
I see some folks are touthing the alleged advantages of AGM.. Well the major advantages of agm are
To the buyer: You can mount them on their side end upside down, no "This Side Up" sticker
To the seller: A lot more profit.
When it comes to capacity, Except for Optima (Less capacity) they are very nearly identical
Weight, Likewise (Optims is lighter)
Life: My AGM's lasted 5 years, my sealed and flooded nine.
In the specific case of LIFELINE... they can be charged faster but you need a bigger converter to do that. And the time savings is not that great since it is only the bulk mode that is faster.
