Mex, is any lead-calcium battery "deep cycle"? Is any AGM "deep cycle" if it is lead calcium? Are there AGMs with antimony?
I don't know if my "cycle use" AGM was unable to handle my usage from doing 50-80s or from too many high amp draws. I do both, so can't separate "what done it". It said to limit charging amps to about 30% which many AGMs specify (except Lifeline eg) which I was always under, so that wasn't the problem.
What should an RVer shopping for AGMs look for in the specs so he can tell what the battery is good for?
People here even have telecom AGMs and say they are good for how they RV, but we don't know how they RV. :( I don't know what to think about AGMs and RVing now.
