[C320-list] PLEASE SUGGEST BATTERY REPLACEMENT

[LOCALJG at aol.com]

If you go with AGMs, be sure to do your research as you may also have  to 
have a larger alternator.  I have been told that unless you charge  an AGM at 
a certain rate, they can be damaged or not fully charge?  Last  year, when 
I was looking into AGMs (and AGMs were the way I wanted to originally  go), 
I was told about the recharging issue with them. I can't remember exactly  
what the facts were but because of the recharging issues and needing a  
bigger alternator, I decided to go with the golf cart batteries.  Golf cart  
batteries keep it simple.

Hi  Pete,

Get the biggest AGM battery that will fit the space. They offer  more
features than wet cell batteries, and are much  safer.
Cheers
