Well that is a good explanation. I thought is was because of the trans flush machine. It would make sense that the cleaning power of all the new fluid might not be good for a old transmission.

That is my understanding also. Maybe a drain transmission oil change every 7k miles which will completely change fluid by the 30K miles. The thought is that a transmission flush at a shop is just not...

After reading all these comments, the whole idea seems questionable. I thought it was more to run AC overnight. If something breaks, you deal with it.

That is true but @50% discharge, you have 500 cycles and @80% discharge, you half 1/2 that with 250 cycles. So always discharging to 60% would cut down on life of battery, I think.

I did not realize it took that long or that realistically you have less than 50% of usable capacity. Along with the claimed longer life, it makes the idea of switching to lithium batteries more...

I thought AGM batteries will charge in about 5 hours. Charging at 20% of capacity, it will charge about 30% in 1.5 hours. The remaining 20% will take quite a while, for a total of about 5 hours. Why...

Those are some real winter camping temps. Would be cool to be able to do that more or less comfortably. I always think that it must be so much nicer in the winter without all the summer tourists.
