I read something about how difficult it was to access his batteries on a newer 1050S about a month ago. This to took care of me buying a new Lance 1050S! it was on my list.
I bought my 1050S in June of 2011. I have had to access my batteries, let's see, ZERO times. And yes they are sealed batteries. And yes, the dealer where I purchased the TC installed them.
I guess anyone can find a reason or excuse to not do something. I find more often that is $$ that makes me not do something.
So did you get lucky and have an especially nice dealer or did you insist on AGM batteries? If the later, why?
I had 1 year old AGM batteries in the TC I traded in and requested they swap them for me. I have always purchased Marine Deep Cycle 1000 CCA AGM Type 31 batteries for my RVs.
I did purchase an Optima battery that was recommended by an RV dealer that swelled and leaked. Since then, I have bought my AGM batteries at O'Reilly Auto Parts. The past 10 years, I have purchased 6 total. The current set is 4 years old and will be moved to my Motorhome this weekend. I am picking up 2 new batteries at O'Reilly this afternoon. I purchase in pairs for equalization purposes.
