[QUOTE="MNboy, post: 1298160, member: 16059"] I would bet that Dale fried his batteries with the very high voltages his system runs at, it's a common issue with the PPW gear. BTW you are quoting the wrong part of the FAQ on that site, they are actually pointing out that Optima batteries are NOT gel batteries and therefore don't suffer from the limitations of a gel. The Optima is a spiral wrapped AGM (absorbed glass mat) battery, there are some similarities to a gel battery but a bunch of very important differences. The Optima is in fact almost perfect for most of the uses we want them for in a wheeler, unfortunately they have very poor compatibility to the charging systems in most of our rigs. [/QUOTE]
