Call Randy at Bestconverter.com I've picked up several goodies from him, and he will give you the straight scoop - his prices are great as well...Ray

in a word NO the p-lax won't be bad for the agms...

my 5 year old agms are still going strong and the first 4 years was with the p-lax plugged in 24/7 when not on the road...

the p-lax died last winter after a week of chronic LOW voltage via shore line.

however IF u are concerned about this based on the MISleading info posted about the dangers of the p-lax...

use a TIMER on the shore line or simply UNPLUG the thing occasionally and use the battery power a day or 2.

how simple is that when it's parked in the yard?

cheers

I am very glad to hear that the converter and the AGMs did fine together. While it wasn't super difficult for Brad to install the converter and monitor, it comes as good news to know we can forego that expenditure and effort without ill effects. I certainly can handle unplugging the AS for a day or two of battery power and save him some trouble. Thanks for sharing your experience with your AGMs and the Parallex.

Just happen to be out in the drive in the AS now...
