I am rather perplexed about the advantages of gel or agm over flooded batteries.
I have a pair of Interstate group 24 RV/marine batteries
We have had hookups 4 times since 2005.
We camp about 6 times a year, for not more than a week.
I have added water to the batteries once.
My batteries have been in use since March 2005, a little over 4 years.
Of all of my concerns about preventative maintenance around the house, trucks, cars, motorcycles, ATVs, pool, etc. the TM batteries are at the bottom of the list.
I guess if I was full timing then I would have a different experience. But for weekend camping flooded cells seem to be problem and maintenance free.
Am I just lucky?
