Thank you. It is good to know that you are well too.
You are right. Batteries are the one disposable part of our systems. The best that you can do is know your needs and make the best choices in battery type, capacity, A charge controller that has user defined settings with TC and enough solar to replace what you use on a daily basis at the very least. Taking the time to maintain them is key.

I have solar charging them daily. The solar is a great helper but it results in faster electrolyte loss than typical use with occasional charging.

So far, I haven't had any problems, going 6 yrs. with the vented box. I also have three AGM batteries inside. The batteries are split in distribution to two banks. In use, they are typically switched to run together since the requirements for charging are so close. The little Morningstar solar charge controller is very variable and settings can be manipulated easily. I'm pretty happy with the batteries but want to add more, of course. I just need to figure out weight balances to see where any additions can be added,
Two flooded batteries inside the TT. How are they vented?
