Question:
Going from one lead acid battery to two AGM batteries in my RV. Will connect in parallel. Do I need a battery balancer? Battery monitor? Anything else I need to think about? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
I recommend a Battery Monitor Kit # GP44FR when you add the 2 AGM Batteries # BRW94FR. The monitor will allow you to see the state of charge, voltage, capacity and time remaining on battery power. This can help protect you from damaging the batteries by the charge dropping to much. You will be able to use the same converter/charger as both lead acid and AGM share the same charge profile.
The Battery Connectors Black # DW04316 and Red # DW01485 can be used to connect the batteries in parallel.
