Thinking of upgrading original Trace Inverter/Charger in 2000 LXI - luckyron1 - 09-28-2008 07:00
After 8 years they are still working fine but our 5 yr. old AGM coach
batteries are in need of replacement. I have heard that anything over
5 yrs. on an inverter charger is a gift, so I figure now would be the
time to do it, especially with the AGM equalization capability in the
new units. Anybody had this done?

AGM batteries don't ever require equalization since they are not wet
cell. They do benefit from the multi stage charger technology
contained in the inverters starting before your 2000 LXI was made. If
you are set on replacing your current inverter, take a look at the
product made by Magnum Energy.

There is alot of confusion about AGM. They are more like flooded acid batteries than gel.
This is a great site. This is a comparison page. Go to "RV" from here:
-Types of batteries- comparison
Good people to call. I learned that my inverter was not one of the best.
