When I was in Corpus Christi last October I went to the local Freightliner dealer and they had a sale on batteries 950 CCS, $69 a piece...this was for my Cummins ISL 400...call around!

Use petroleum jelly on the terminals to avoid a lot of corrosion issues. (Once everything is connected of course)
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

I use AGMs for house batteries but engine batteries are not bad about causing corrosion. I replaced my Interstate batteries at 10 years... not because only one would still start my ISL but I was in OR so no sales tax and they let me keep my old ones. I'm still using one of them at 13 years. Cost/year should be considered.

Get AGM. No more corrosion.

There are 24 hours in every day - it all depends on how you choose to use them.
