OK, seems I need to replace my coach batteries, 06 TS with 400 ISL. Words of wisedom as to brand, size, and any ideal of cost appreciated.

For sure the wet cell batteries are cheaper. I decided to go with AGM's so that I don't have to worry about watering them and dealing with the sulfating. It was not cheap changing out 8 house batteries which was about $3,000. Worth every penny in my opinion.

Just curious, how long will the AGM's last before needing replacement?

Our 4 wet cell coach batteries need replacing about every 5 years at an average cost of $100 per battery which totals $1,200 over 13+ years of ownership.

Thanks:)

It's not about the cost to me, it's about convenience. My wet cell batteries lasted for about 6 yrs. and they were still holding a decent charge, I just didn't want them to die when I was traveling and I got tired of adding/checking for water.

I'm assuming that the AGM's will last about the same time as my wet cell. We'll see.
