Hoosier,

Might want to look at this post http://irv2.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/...2/m/8571088454

And also do a search on the AGM batts.

I just priced 8D size at Batteries Plus here in Texas. 519.99 plus about 25 shipping.

Might want to investigate the charging requirements and talk to Lifeline. There seems to be a lot of conflicting info on the net about charging AGM batteries. Some claim they require different charging voltages and patterns, others say that standard wet cell settings work.


You also might want to investigate the equalizing process, which is simply a controlled, timed voltage overcharge of the batteries. It may bring those puppies back to a usable life. Here are a couple of links http://www.monacocoach.com/service/t...6/4_21_06.html
