Should I swap GC2s out for Lifeline AGM?
Planning to swap out my 2 year old GC2 batteries (Interstate brand) for 2 six volt AGM Lifelines (220 Amp Hour bank). I dry camp several times a year for a few days and want to extend my electrical c...

I can't use a battery over 9.5 inches tall without serious modifications and some sacrifices of storage space.
I love a battery which can gobble up huge alternator amperages without worry. I do not want a battery with a recommended 10 to 13% charge rate, or an AGM with a sub 33% charge rate.
Been hammering a Northstar AGM for 800+ deep cycles for approaching 5 years.
Been two years since I last saw the top of it.
Previous flooded marine 27s were always compromised further, by not watering them in time but they were also a huge PITA to fully charge.
I do not miss flooded battery maintenance and much rather watch an ammeter to determine full charge, as opposed to a hydrometer
