Just have to take some good measurements to be sure of Group size.

Thanks,

Well I would not say they are NOT compatible. Its just that they cost more money and they charge much quicker and hold a chare much longer that you dont need to leave the RV plugged very much at all (IMO). I was fraid the cheap OEM converter would ruin them over time.

Before I would plug the RV in for a few days then unplug it (I was afraid to boil the OEM batteries so I baby them). But after two weeks they would be at 50% so I was charging them every week for a day or two - then CW had my RV for a week and kill them dead and would not replace - it was only 9 mo old to me so I replaced with two AWESOME 6V AGM's.

Now I will plug if for 24 hours every two or 3 weeks. I could even go longer. They barely loose any charge while sitting in my storage.

Santa left me a Progressive Dynamics Smart charger under my tree (thanks Santa). Once I install that I wont worry as much. But really no reason for me to leave plugged in all the time anyway. But now when im at a Camp ground I can leave plugged in all the time for the AC and just because im paying for the electric anyway.
