Group Buys - thanks and AGM batteries next???
Stephen,
I mailed the check to you today for the pressure pro tire monitoring system. Thank you VERY much for tackling this project. I am really happy with our 2 group buys: Surge Suppression, and Tire Monitoring. I did both, and I for for one appreciate the leg work the 2 of you did, and the forums that have allowed these discounted group buys. I have a request for the next group buy ... if we have about 2 months to save our dollars: AGM batteries in the summer or fall. Anyone else need some AGMs? I need 2 AGM starters, and 4 AGM house batteries, all group 31s. I will also need new cables for the 4 house side as they are currently cabled for flooded type connectors. Any one else in for a AGM group battery group buy discount? I have no source other than Stephen if this request works out. Thanks!

My concern with a group buy AGM would be the cost of shipping could
eat each person alive to the point there is no savings over local purchase. But if I can get a good quality battery for the right price I am down with that. I need 8 house batteries, I use flooded for starters as they are in the engine bay and will be hot most of the time. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "ac7880" wrote: > > Stephen, > I mailed the check to you today for the pressure pro tire monitoring > system. > > Thank you VERY much for tackling this project. > > I am really happy with our 2 group buys: Surge Suppression, and Tire > Monitoring.

Woops forgot to sign.
While I am here, has anyone researched hybird AGM and GEL combined batteries (lower part is AGM with GEL overlayed on the top)?

The previous owner of my coach installed AGMs for both engine and
house batteries. Unfortunately, they were badly mistreated between the time the coach was traded in and I bought it --- to make matters worse, the Link 2000R controller had been incorrectly programed (or had been "reset") so that it was charging as if the AGMs were flooded batteries. Result, batteries that didn't hold their charge. I purchased new AGMs from an Internet source. (My coach uses 6 size 4D batteries for the house.) I purchased FullRiver AGMs from DC Battery <http://www.dcbattery.com> The price included delivery (shipping was from Florida to California). The only snag I ran into was the new batteries were slightly wider than the old ones ... and I had to modify the 'trays' that hold them. Not difficult, but I had to find a friend with a welding rig to do the job. You can get information on the FullRiver batteries here: <http://www.dcbattery.com/fullriver.html> I selected these because they're designed for deep cycle in solar installations. Seemed like an appropriate choice. My chassis batteries don't seem to have suffered the same fate as the house batteries, so I didn't change them. I think they're 3 type 34s... =============================================== Pete Masterson, Author of Book Design and Production: A Guide for Authors and Publishers Aeonix1@...

This will work the hardest part is the logisitcs of delivery
Batteries have to purchased at the distributorship level no middlemen and a manufacturer that will drop ship or generously discount the shipping the choice could be yours flooded cell or agms.The caveat is shipping Flooded cell carries a hazmat rating therefore a surcharge We have shipped both types both singly and by the skid and if the quantity is big enough it works Agms you can ship by mail and bother Dan's back no hazmat no surcharge just a really angry mailman If everyone would like to wait or can survive till fall I can start the work now this will take some preperation What I need to work with is a zipcode so I can start pricing shipping The size and type of battery you are looking for If I jump into this thing again I will not buy junk. they will be excellent quality batteries It is not worth the aggravation And sorry Guys and Gals no Gel type they will not give the service life of either agm or flooded cell and they will not stand abuse either intentional or accidental. And for Dan we can make the cables Stephen 77fc35 as the wife says NOW WHAT!!! --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Pete Masterson wrote: > > The previous owner of my coach installed AGMs for both engine and > house batteries.
