Single AGM or 2 GC2???????

And how many times has someone actually reported on here one of their 6V GC batteries died without warning?


Not saying there haven't been one, but I don't remember.

The fact remains that you are more likely to have someone rear end your trailer and total it while at a stoplight than you are to have one of two 6V GC batteries fail without warning.

I thought I would get a couple opinions on which way I should go for my Battery replacement strategy this time.
A little background:
I just replaced my converter with a Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power Converter 9200-14.8 Volt Deck Mount.
I had a pair of Costco GC2 Battts that were put into service on 2/2013, but were abused by my crappy WFCO converter. When I boondock, I always run my Honda 2000 (with 5 gal. external tank) basically 24/7 while I'm at the Dunes, and if not out in the sand I have power available at my covered parking. Trailer is always in the higher temps of west coast (Las Vegas, Desert)
Just recently one of my GC2s developed a shorted cell, so I need to either replace those with new 6V, or possibly with a single 12v AGM. Since I never really run my inverter or 12v for any length of time without plugging in what would be the the most economical, trouble free, dependable way to go?


Thanks in advance!!!!!!!


Costco GC2 batts are $86.00ea so a pair would be about $187.00.

According to many, having one bad GC2 in a pair is nearly impossible. :R
I would go 12 volt flooded on the cheap or 12 volt AGM if you have a few bucks.
