The AGM battery is a starting battery and should be used for the engine. It supplies high current for a short time. The golf cart batteries are deep cycle with higher storage capacity and like longer term smaller loads like what you have in the house section of the coach. The disconnect switch can go on either side of the battery. Mine is on the positive side.

That disconnect switch is what saved me when I had an engine fire many years ago.

I accidentally hit send in the previous posting before I had finished typing.


Good to hear Ken. I won't bother trying to switch the disconnect. Just what i saw when reading about them. Cdn Tire has deep cycle 6V for $200 each - the AGM 12V I was looking at was $160. So - I will be putting up an extra $250-ish but I think worth it in the long run - especially since my Onan still isn't running. I'd like to give myself as much house juice as possible!

Well, although I can't get in to shop today, I can take out the old and pull out the Interstate in preparation for the switch. Not going anywhere right now anyway. Smile Plus I can eliminate one of the core deposits by bringing the DOA in when I get the 2 6V's
