Battery r&r

As to the question of cost. I just replaced my 2 original 12V batteries after approximately 5 yrs. I went with flooded lead acid. I asked about AGM cost and longevity; AGM was double the cost and was told didn't last very much longer.
Don't have any info on lithium batteries, but would guess they are even more pricey.
BTW, my thoughts on lead acid batteries:
1. Procure a battery fill system and top off batteries ever 3-4 months
2. Come in from trip, plug in long enough to clean and unload, then put into "store" mode.
3. Plug in and put in use mode to prep for leaving.
4. Don't leave plugged in and in "use" mode for long periods of time.

Also, I dressed an cleaned the nest of cables and harnesses that Thor left in the battery compartment.. What a mess.
