First Time Boondocking Plan - Tech Question

Of course, that's no reason avoid an AGM, unless you like buying new Levis after you change out your batteries. And corrosion in your battery box. Explosive hydrogen gas. And split battery cases when your battery freezes. I'll never know these things because my batteries are AGM.

Oddly I don't get any of that on my wet cells. No damaged pants, no corrosion, and no split battery cases. BTW, no battery will freeze if fully charged so not sure where you get that misinformation from. And AGMs are not immune to freezing either. They'll freeze just like any other lead acid battery. Another thing, wet cell batteries don't gas unless charged. AGMs gas too when charged but MUCH less than wet cells. I'm not an AGM hater either and will probably get some on the next go around if lithium ion batteries are still too expensive. They have one advantage I'm interested in and that's less voltage drop under heavy loads.
