[C320-list] AGM Batteries and Battery Charger

[Jon Vez]

Very happy with my Lifelines (2 house and 1 starting) and my Xantrex
Trucharge--I installed mine in 2001 and still going strong! I too did not
want to take a chance on my investment in these batteries and ditched the
Promariner when I made this change....pricey, but well worth it in my
opinion.....

Hello all,
It appears that my gel house batteries are losing ground.  One isn't holding
much of a charge, so I'm looking at 4-D AGM's.  Anybody got any feedback on
the Lifeline brand ?
If I'm going to spend this kind of money I think I'll invest in a better
battery charger as well. I currently have a Professional Mariner Promatic
30-3 and according to the manufacturer, its about as good as a boat anchor
and should be replaced.  Got any suggestions for a good charger ?
Regards,
