Rolls Surrette User manual
And I thought the Lifeline user's manual was well written and comprehensive. Roll's manual should be made a Sticky. I think most every question about lead acid batteries I have ever read on this f...

My former Interstate AGM RV batteries looked IDENTICAL (in specs and physical characteristics - but different colored cases) to an existing C&D Technology model when I bought the Interstate batteries years ago. My Interstate AGM mobility batteries were an earlier version of this current Interstate mobility model:

I'll bet that C&D makes this latest Group 29 AGM battery for Interstate - here's the C&D version:

Since I've always been told that Interstate doesn't make batteries, I assume (there's that word again) that C&D made and rebranded for Interstate the AGM batteries that I bought back then.
I went the other way around with the replacement AGM batteries I bought just this past summer. My AGM Fullriver batteries are made by Fullriver - but they also rebrand the model into a Rolls-Surrette AGM model that is identical in specs and shape - but with the standard Rolls-Surrette colored case.
P.S. Note the recommended float voltage range that Interstate and C&D show in their specifications .... exactly equal to the nominal output voltage of a good old RV single stage converter's ... so that the converter doesn't ruin these batteries over time. This is just like the situation with the larger Group 31 Fullriver AGM batteries I now have in our RV such that I didn't have to lay out money for a new multi-stage converter/charger just to go with these particular AGM batteries. I'm usng the same 13.6 volt RV single stage converter for the new Fullrivers as I used with the previous Interstates.
