It looks like the reviews from both Dahai and the Fit RV are from the 2015 show in Pomona. Dahai reported the batteries as AGM but didn't indicate any visual confirmation while James (Fit RV) actually crawled under a Galleria and noted that the batteries apparently were not AGM but flooded cell.

Perhaps the current Galleria production makes this moot but it's seems strange to spend extra time and money on providing superior cabinetry and then try to save a few bucks on batteries.

BTW, I get why these batteries now are being located under chassis but there seems little acknowledgement of the trade off for this. There used to be a battery compartment or at least a location that allowed for reasonably convenient battery replacement. But with their current location under chassis, removing and replacing them has got to be a real PITA and unless you're prepared to crawl under the coach and do this yourself, unless they are lithiums, the labor cost for removing and replacing one or more of them could easily exceed the cost of the battery itself.
