Time for new batteries for my AF811
The last 2 years or so, the original batteries in my 2010 AF811 have pretty much been useless. I haven't used the camper much during the summer of 2013 and 2014, and most of the time I had shore powe...

I installed a pair of Deka AGM golf batteries in my Hallmark last year and have been very happy with them. I was able to get them thru the local Deka distributer for just under $200 each at their counter. I switched over to a PD 9260 inverter at the same time, no more removing batteries to water them.
I am planning on getting them the same way - through the local Deka warehouse. They will sell "over the counter" but the average Joe would never know it because they are more or less "the local distribution center."

It is like playing a game of chicken to see who blinks first. I'm on my original set of batteries on my Dodge (8 years old) and I know that I'm past due but it keeps starting. LOL! Maybe this is an indication that I'm cheap. LOL!
I remember another partial reason for the procrastination - both of my trucks have needed new batteries within the last 6 months. OUCH x4.
The 06 is my daily driver and RV transport rig, and on one trip last summer, one battery developed a shorted cell and cooked itself.
The 09 has been on borrowed time for at least 2 years, due to something draining the batteries, partially due to lack of use on that truck. The OEM batteries finally died early fall - I put a pair of Dekas in it. I know what killed the batteries, and I sold that item to eliminate the problem.
