I'm just starting to learn. I like that the batteries themselves are so much lighter. Plus their ability to be drawn way down.<br /><br />I'll be watching you (like Sting).The Good Luck Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08448071993000984393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246991955146217255.post-32492194339323806642014-02-12T16:57:42.520-05:002014-02-12T16:57:42.520-05:00I talked with the factory rep at the RV show in Qu...I talked with the factory rep at the RV show in Quartzsite where technomedia got their batteries from, its $620 for a 100 AH battery. They have chargers for sale & YOU MUST charge the battery exactly at 14.2 volts - or they will be toast !!<br />I have not yet found a solar charge controller that can charge at 14.2 volt setting. if you screw up with the batteries there goes $1,000 bye - bye !OverTheTopCargoTrailerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389472439348784845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246991955146217255.post-20959288638204010012014-02-12T15:06:08.803-05:002014-02-12T15:06:08.803-05:00Hi Lynn, Yep the problems with AGMs make me not w...Hi Lynn, Yep the problems with AGMs make me not want to do that again. Yes, the change that Technomadia made in their lifestyle to mostly post to post doesn't give really good like use numbers but I think they are honest and realistic about their experiences and limitations.

But, the smaller companies currently selling them, and the limited long-term reviews from real-life RVers, still make it a bit of a crap shoot. Maybe I'd feel more comfortable if I saw Technomadia actually boondocking more with theirs, or using solar to recharge them, but as Lynne (WinnieViews)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17043666828785051719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246991955146217255.post-73379375919778509302014-02-10T22:14:59.170-05:002014-02-10T22:14:59.170-05:00Just wanted to say good evening and I haven't ...Just wanted to say good evening and I haven't a clue .... nary a clue what all you've just said..
