A bit about my project. I have an Arctic Fox27-5L and am about to install solar on the roof and the items needed to charge batteries. The second phase will be the install of a puresine inverter. Currently I gave 2-6V flooded lead acid batteries in the factory location. They are on slides behind a small door. In that area there is enough room for 4 batteries so I'm looking to remove the slides and install 4 AGMs. One other option is to move the location of the battery bank to behind a partition wall next to the storage bay which is where a lot of the plumbing for drains and vents are located.
My question is if I move the battery location and bunch the AGMs together is a problem created. I've read a bit that says AGMs need to be ventilated which I would assume to be for keeping them cooler. Yet I see some installations that have 4 bunched together in a batter box.
Just looking for some good experience advice before the solar install begins as where the batteries are located determine where the controller, inverter, etc goes.
AGM absorbed glass mat are completely sealed and therefore dont need to be ventilated,,I have one right under my bed and never had any problems..
Ive never heard that it needs to be cooled..
