The following quote was written by Gary in a great article about changing your RV batteries. The quote fits me to a t!
"If you are one of those who can’t remember to check the water in the battery cells occasionally, or can’t access the batteries easily, an AGM battery provides freedom from those chores while also providing excellent performance and long life. An AGM battery also largely eliminates the corrosion that often afflicts the cables and terminals on the battery. Both 6v golf cart and 12v deep cycle batteries are available in the AGM" - Gary B.
I am the one who can't remember to check the water and when I do, I can't access it easily. So here I am with a 2021 24' Class C wanting to change the battery. I have one fairly new (to my knowledge) battery. I would like to change it to an AGM. Questions...
1. While I'm changing should I change to 2 batteries instead of 1? (I typically only travel to and from campgrounds but do plan on boondocking with solar in the future. That's another thread I will also have a 30 amp installed at the house in the near future.)
2. Which AGM would you go with?
3. Can I do this myself? I am fairly handy so I think I can.
4. Is there a video link somewhere to walk me through it?
