Fullriver Sealed Battery
No one questions whether AGM batteries are good or not. but most
coach owners dont use them often enough to justify buying them when
flooded deep cycles work fine for our use. I only had 4 interstate
deep cycles in my FC35 and never ran out of power even using the
satellite system, LP furnaces and microwave etc, Still plenty of
power to start the engine the next day. At $58 each, for me its
difficult to justify buying AGM batteries. Whats the advantage? There
is still the problem of being very careful in over charging them.

I just replaced 6 brand new Optima batteries that were installed in
my PT when I bought it ( $180 each here in advance auto) with new
interstate deep cycles. they are easy to maintain in a PT (a little
harder in a FC) and provide plenty of power for my use.
