Lifeline funded that sailor's report at least to the cost of the batteries. I don't mean to say we should suspend belief on the report, just keep that in mind.

Lifeline did NO such thing!!! That sailor was not getting the expected life from those batteries (it was HIS blog not Lifeline's...read the blog, there's a lot of good info there...oh no you can't you have to pay for it now :R) and instead of Lifeline saying you maintained them wrong and telling them to piss off (like most companies would do), they stepped in to help train them on proper care and maintenance AND provided them with a replacement set of batteries. That is fantastic service IMO! That sold me on Lifeline AGMs even though the general consensus in the sailing community is not good on AGMs in general (look that up for yourself). IMO, the way they do things is not conducive to AGM use even though they are the perfect customers for them. Some sailors have made them work though. In a RV environment, they can work and work well.
