How long do we want batteries to last ?
IMO, and IME, nothing is simpler to maintain than LA RV batteries. When connected to a decent charger, and watered once...maybe twice a year, and maybe hosed off once in a while, they last an easy 8-10 yrs.
How is it that some insist on making batteries appear to be the most complicated component of an RV, by continued posts of charging AGMs, etc etc etc w/ no end in site. And they all end up at the same conclusion,...no one knows what their even talking about, including the manufactures,....all having their own, and different ideas.
The fact is that no matter how you charge them w/ a decent 3 stage charger, LA or AGM, they are all going to last 8-10 yrs, if given the slightest bit of care.
I have read so many threads about AGMs, they nearly make me ill.
But keep them coming, because every one of them make them out to so complicated, and over priced, that I would be a fool to ever buy one.
But, I am curious,.....just how long are ya all trying to get them to last ? Seems like ya all wood spend more time polishing yer rigs, and less time on overpriced complicated AGM batteries !
