six years?? I'll probably be asking about it in a year or so when I will be needing a new one myself!! (but, 6 years is about how much 'time/battery life' they are saying I have left in my pacemaker right now - will have to remember to ask you about 'your' battery when they get ready to replace mine - and to think - mine is already "lithium" - about $30,000.00 worth - 'but' I am still alive............ :thumbsup:

six years??


Hopefully closer to ten. My FLA battery in our current teardrop is six years old and still strong. Costco. (They don't sell AGMs)

I'm on my 3rd season with an Ebay NPP brand battery. Seems to be holding up so far. 100ah group 27. I have yet to pull it below 12v. Runs my fantastic fan all night and charges electronics also. I can usually too it off daily with 50w of solar that I store in the tongue box. Power is not a concern when boondocking.

I pulled the trigger on a VMAX. If I'd seen those, I might have put the crosshairs on them.

Does anyone use an AGM for their TV battery? If so, what kind of lifespan have you experienced?
Holy cow, Rose is a teenager now! Done? Surely you jest. A teardrop is never "done".

Why go with a AGM when for a little more you could go with a $460 100ah lithium that you can discharge 90%. https://www.dhgate.com/product/lifepo4- ... _customers

I toyed with the idea but this battery should go 8-10 years at a much-reduced price and then I assume it'll be my last lead-acid based battery. By then the batteries will have changed drastically and perhaps even lithium iron batts will be history.

I'm holding out for the flux capacitor. :thumbsup:
