House Battery Life
Hi All, My 2 - 6 volt, deep cycle golf cart house batteries just died after only 3 & 1/2 years. Bought at Sam's June 2011. We live in our MH full time and almost always plugged into 30 amp powe...

Yes, the 9200 & charge wizard will mate well with the AGM type batteries & do a good job, but will not suffice for lead acid without a different maintenance program in place.

Yeah, that's why most the lead acids are lasting 8-10 yrs on the PD wizard !
Where are the statistics on that? It would be interesting to breakdown the stats according to some factors:
"Most" are on shore power with 12v batts AFAIK.
There used to be some concern that 6s don't do so well on a long Float. Xantrex had an optional 2 stage , no float setting on their three-stagers because of that.
There is mention of how well batts do on Float here (scroll down to end) but it goes by SG. I don't know if high SG "goes with" 5% antimony vs low antimony though.

Also wonder if the PD 14.4 gets a good reputation more in warmer climates where that voltage is closer to say 14.6 temp compensated.
