Thanks Tom, I will check Interstate tomorrow. It would be nice to save $194/battery X 6 = $1164. I'll buy you a rootbeer float next time I see you; using your home made root beer! Boy that stuff was gooood!

How can I find the correct charge rate for AGMs? The AGMs that Newell installed in my 1999 model is rated at 255 amps @ 20 hours - whatever that means?

So should I set the charger to charge them up to 13.2 or 13.8 or 14.2 ?????

I learned how to change the charge rate using the Link 2000 last time I was at Newell
it's pretty easy.
