It really comes down to time and money for me. Given the cost of cleaning and replacing cables plus the maintenance of adding water that is most likely a wash per some of the other posters. My situation is the following:

1. I don't like the corrosion or hydrogen gas effervescing during peak usage
2. Battery cables and terminals take a beating and ultimately have to be replaced
3. Time required to pull batteries, clean, and repaint cabinet
4. Voltage loss when setting for a few weeks

For those reason I chose Trojan T105 AGMs and is the best money I have ever spent on my camping equipment over the past 60 years

Same goes for my newer Fords, the AGM's are simply a better way to go and apparently Ford thought so or they wouldn't be OEM

I will spend my time on other maintenance aspects or simply relaxing
