First Time Boondocking Plan - Tech Question
I am trying to learn & prepare to Boondock for 12 days in Oct. I have a standard 5er setup (two 6 volt batteries) and a 2000w Honda generator. For convenience I purchased a battery level indicator at ...

You're right, I'm wrong, the military and aviation and Rock My RV and Harley-Davidson all use AGMS because they're just too stupid and didn't read that scientific conclusion over at cruisers forum...I stand corrected.
I accept your apology. :)

Admitting that, lead-acid cells don't have the low resistance of AGMS and as a result generate head during charging. That low resistance is why AGMs charge so much faster (they do) than standard lead-acid batteries.
Yes. They CAN charge faster. No argument there. But with typical RV converters that regulate voltage... they don't. Higher voltage is required to "push" the extra current in faster. But to keep from frying your electronics, you would have to disconnect the bank and charger from the coach in order to realize this "advantage." This is well known. If you think this is incorrect, then I'm afraid the burden is on you to prove otherwise.
As far as your next post is concerned, unless you house your batteries upside down or inside the coach with no outside ventilation, then I didn't see a single advantage out of all those listed.
