Do you use die-electric grease on your DC connections? The only AGM I am using now is in a ATV. Everything else is regular batteries wet cell, and I do use die-electric grease on the connections, and zero corrosion issues.
The last Battery I replaced was the one in my Crawler, At the time, money was an issue. I bought a Rebuilt battery from O'Rielys, Price?... $40 lus tax. Wasn't really rebuilt, just re-stickered, as that's what they do with batteries that sit on the shelves too long, I think it's one year??? It was a truck battery, Turns the engine over faster that the previous 2 Duracell AGM's, they lasted me 6 years, purchased from Sam;s Club at $189, after tax and exchange. Granted, that was 8 years ago
