AGM. AGM. AGM. AGM. Charleie D is mistaken, AGM batteries are designed as direct replacements for old-school wet-cell technology. And AGM cells are NOT gel cells!!! Do a search of these posts, or better yet some AGM research, and you'll find out why you get more value for your money. And all the other advantages are frosting on the cake.

:S You must have never left Florida. I live in Wyoming. We've had many winter days at -30 (MINUS!), and I've never had a battery freeze. I take that back. Once, when driving across South Dakota with temps of -30 to -40, the alternator quit. As a result the battery went dead and froze. I also lived in Alaska for a few years. No problems with batteries.

Some RV's require a wet cell for the emergency braking system to work. Be careful about going to AGM

10+ years ago I tried a solar charger that plugged into a car's lighter, in order to keep the battery charged in my old mustang that was hardly driven. It was a joke. No help at all.
I am thinking now that probably these solar chargers have improved and might try one again, but something in a little better quality (basically whatever I can buy for $50 or less).
