Then I can just forget about them which is a most underrated feature of AGM's compared to the filling and mess when using flooded ones full time and EQ

I love AGM's & the lack of maintenance but there is no way I'm going to break my OCD cycle of replacing every five years regardless. I gave my last four Trojan's to a guy at my boat yard and as far as I know he's still using them but unfortunately I'm not going to change....
Heck I even replace standing rigging every ten to twelve (I was on board a boat that lost it's rig)! Spending the money on AGM's would be crazy with my OCD repair/replace behavior...
