Converting to Solar/AGM
Hey folks, I just recently installed 2x 95W Solar Panels, 1000W pure sine wave interver interver fuse, and regulator I'm looking to upgrade my house batteries to a bank of two lifeline 6volt (...

Yes, flooded is in a battery tray and bolted down under the hood - the AGMS can be inside, upside down. When you consider that the enemies of batteries (cold, heat, vibration) have less impact on the superior AGM designs, you will discover that you don't pay much extra because your AGMS will outlast flooded batteries.
I noticed that the Go Power converter has an automatic equalization cycle. You may wish to contact Go Power and find out what the voltage is when equalizing. It may exceed the AGM's threshold.
Isolator= good!
The difference between a deck mount converter and the system converters is that the latter have a 12V distribution center and will probably include the AC circuit breakers. If you already have that, it's not necessary to replace them.
