Topic: Glass Mat Battery Posted: 12 Jan 2014 at 4:01am |
With our Vibe the battery is located inside under the dinette seat with little outside ventilation. So for safety I bought a Lifeline GPL27T glass mat battery. I though that would be a good battery for safety being it has some outside ventilation but not as much as one located outside of a camper. And it is not that easy to get to. My question is thinking that the converter charger in the Vibe is the same as the r-pods does it hurt to have the camper plugged in all the time? Are the glass mat batteries the same as a vented battery when it comes to charging. I want to be careful I do not over charge the battery. David

AGMs have the same charging profile as flooded lead-acid so it should be ok

Thank you, Doug I knew you could answer my question. I need to finish remodeling the inside in the mean time we can't wait to go camping to try out our new camper. David

When we had our diesel pusher we converted all 5 batteries to AGM. They were awesome... HUGE difference. Good move!!
