I admit I'm heavily biased, now, towards AGM batteries for my motorhome MAINLY based on my personal experience with mine instead of what the experts publish:
- I bought 'em in the fall of 2006.
- They still do their thing on camping trips.
- There's never any corrosion around them.
- I never get holes in my pants if I brush up against them.
- They're never thirsty.
- I get to pay no attention to how far I draw them down before recharging.
- They seem to defy all forum-knowledge by both floating and charging (when camping) from the same fixed voltage ... ~13.8 volts from a stock converter.
- They're fully charged from the 130 amp Ford alternator (when driving) during 5-6 hours of travel.
Maybe it's because I screwed up by buying wheelchair AGM batteries instead of buying AGM batteries advertised to be for recreational vehicles. :h
