Hate the City
Need some help choosing a deep cycle battery. Want to power LED lights on my camper trailer. They don't draw very much but would also like to allow for the expansion of a fridge some time down the track. I hear that AGM batteries are the way to go.

Here's a link to a thread on the topic last week.
AGM Battery thread
Also have a look at this;
Electricity for camping
Also, if you go to the "Battery Power" article in the top right hand corner of your thread, scroll to the bottom of the page to the "Article Feedback" area you'll find the last 218 threads about batteries and AGM's. Bound to be something in there to help.
Yes they are the way to go but like any battery, they need to be treated right. It's not just a matter of throwing them in the trailer and running a wire to them.
John's article on electricity is a good start for you.
Cheers Mick

and for the sake of it you may want to read the 12 volt section on my ute build. It's about half way down. I paid a few more $ and went for Powersonic AGM's.
