Thanks Jon, much like I had guessed so I would stay with AGM for now as I don't see any downside to it at this point. They are plenty big enough to take care of your needs on the road while going...

There is getting to be way to much self serving diversion and confusion going on here, I fear.


Bottom line is that we want to help the OP make the right decision for his system. He stores in an...

I think I can guess what it is, due to past discussions and it how I would do it also. But I plead the fifth to not incriminate myself.:lol:

That sounds very much like the kind of system I would want, especially if the batteries were not inside the van. I don't know how reliable the heating pads are long term, but if there were multiple...

Backs up my point completely. Redundancy is good, separate systems for shore power heat and engine running heat would have saved you a crawl under in the snow and you could have just gone for a ride...

In this case the OP said the van is stored in an unheated space with one common wall to heated area and it stays above zero. That is above the -4*F that is currently recommended by many...

The setup you have is pretty common, but for me I would not want it that way in and by itself.


Shore power heat of batteries, absolutely, especially if parked outside in the winter and you have...
