Batteries
 

Guys
I'm trying one of those absorbed glass matt sealed batteries. Got it at O'Reilly's. It's a bit pricy at $78.98 but I'm tired of the corrosion caused by acid. It spun the CH22 over with no problems. O'Reilly part number is SSB ETX16. Next on the replacement list is my 1782, I figure if it will spin the diesel all the others are a piece of cake. I'll keep you updated.

I have done some research with AGM batteries in the past. One thing that was a caution, is to not overcharge. Never leave it on the charger. (unless you have an AGM charger)

I just looked up that battery, in Roanoke, it is $88.99, :bigthink:

AGM batteries are BIG $$ :bigeyes:

It's on the maintainer at the moment. I've use similar batteries in my race car in the past and have had good luck with them.

I think I can get a better deal on them but the guy that usually cuts me killer deals at O'Rielly's wasn't in today. Yep more $$$ than the regular stuff but I've repaired enough rotted battery boxes and dash towers. The O will be getting one also.

I assume "maintaine"r is an electronically controlled charger. It probably has a high voltage limit. Most cheap chargers can go as high as 15-16 volts. I read that for AGM the max is 14.7 volts. Might be worth checking with a voltmeter. Just my :TwoCents:

Will do. :beerchug:
