Is this what you mean or are your referring to the two now standard-issue AGM house batteries for the coach?Chris

Reply #2 – January 16, 2013, 12:18:52 pm Yahoo Message Number: 136237"We were at the Mothership today, Tod stated that they are now installing AGM batteries as the routine." Just to clarify: did Tod specifically say that they are installing an AGM *starting/engine* battery as well as AGM house batteries? We know that AGM house batteries have been standard at LD for a couple of years now, but it's the starting battery that this discussion is concerned with.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/

I spoke with Vince at the factory, and his answer was that LD *does not* replace the OEM engine battery with an AGM. ¡Ya basta! ;-)Joan

Reply #6 – January 16, 2013, 07:35:43 pm Yahoo Message Number: 136246The person who originally told me they had an AGM battery in a 2001 LD has written to say that it isn't one after all. I think that and the official word from Vince put this rumor to rest. :-)Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
