2017 Venetian House Batteries

Wondering pros and cons of maintenance free batteries vs the standard batteries installed at factory. Also On the current batteries i don't see a group number or part number any help on this would be great. Thanks Dan

Should be GC2

Trojan T105 AGM is the best long term cost effective way to go

Just replaced my house batteries with Lifeline GPL-4CT. Great service on our previous motorhome.

The only con for the AGM batteries: the price!
But that's only until you figure out all of the Pro's; that come with using them!

my 'standard' factory batteries lasted 5 years and almost 100,000 miles of travel... just recently replaced them with Duracell GC2's from Sams (or Batteries + Bulbs), both who run regular 'sales' for these...
they are nice, still require water(so what?), and have been giving me excellent service for the last few months.
