Hi Michael, This could start the battery "religious wars", but perhaps a little debate would be useful for people who haven't decided yet. Michael Diehr wrote: You are falling victim to advertised

Re: Adding a Second Coach Battery
This is good information. Keep in mind that it is generic and oversimplified. Mostly true for batteries in general, but not so true for specific cases. It's a bit like describing "cars" in general;

Re: Adding a Second Coach Battery
From: Helge Pedersen Wow; that battery got SERIOUSLY hot! My guess is that your charger severely overcharged and overheated it, causing it to swell up like a balloon. An AGM is nominally "sealed".

Re: Adding a Second Coach Battery
Lots of good information here and I am still trying to understand what is going on with the needs to vent a AGM battery or not. If a AGM battery really needs to be vented does it have to have outside

Re: Adding a Second Coach Battery
AGMs are an interesting option: * same size & weight of a Flooded Lead Acid battery * better venting requirements (but not zero, depending on your risk tolerance, see below) * price and longevity

Re: Adding a Second Coach Battery
Helge, If I was starting from scratch I'd probably go with two AGMs. However I already own the two lead acid batteries so I intend to use them for now. I'd still need a box (I think) and cables to run

Re: Adding a Second Coach Battery
Why not just use AGM battery and forget all about venting plus they can lay on the side as I have done with mine. Perhaps I am missing something here, but all of the venting issues seems like a
