I am trying to put 1 or 2 batteries in the basement and really don't want to do the maintenance associated with the wet cells. I have wet cells now and neglect them too much to justify buying the same type. I would like to set and forget them for the most part. Plus I want them to be in the heated basement where they can stay warm. It would be hazardous to keep flooded cells in the basement. I can also run the AGM's down pretty low and not do as much harm. Let's all face it we do push the limits of our batteries in times of need. No one is perfect and I just want to have fun.
As a power budget I would like 300-400 amp hours. I think I can fit a 4D in the stock battery compartment and another one in the basement. They will be about 6 feet apart but we will use 4ga to link them.

Would you reccomend it over an on board charger/inveter?
What would be reason for extended high voltage?
Though batteries seems to be a moving target Ops intent was 2 or 3 AGMs. In your opinion or information you based your decision on would it be more beneficial for Bigfeets intent and usage?

Where did a portable charger idea come from? The Schumacher would be a nice unit to have on hand-Im really not sure bout using for camper-Id dump that idea. If its a matter of cost get a smaller unit-(Best has the 60amp 4 160)get a unit designed for the task. Maybe just me...I did note comment on the portable being able to increase voltage to 16v if a load is also present while charging? If I were to spring for 3 31 agms Id want to insure I could maintain them.

What are everyone's thoughts on a Powermax Boondocker 75amp converter/charger for my 3 group 31 AGM's? I have a Honda 2000 that should power it fine.
