Thanks Mex. I didn't buy any yet if ever. My old 6s are fading but not quite ready to toss; could get another year out of them sort of.
I am thinking of tossing them this year instead of next if it makes more sense money-wise. A pair of these mystery 6s at $149 each now is about $100 less for a pair of the others now. Two pair is $200 less! No idea what next year's prices will be. Any new batteries will be the last set for me as an RVer I expect. As you well know--Age--time flies when you are having fun :(
Another option is to get two more AGMs for a total of four (100AH each) and use them back and forth between the camper and the trailer. I have always wanted to have AGMs in the trailer in the winter where I can keep them inside nice and warm so they then hold up their AHs. Makes up for them being only 100AH each at 25C, and in summer we have solar anyway, so who cares about the battery AH?
But then I still lose $200 because the AGMs are $250 each. Two AGMs cost $500, almost as much or more as four 6s. ($600 mysteries or $800 "regular" ones. Can$.)
Decisions, decisions!
