Good day to all. I am researching battery replacements for our 76 Eleganza II. It has a Progressive Dynamics 40 amp converter-charger with charge wizard. We have a 850 CCA starting battery up front and 2 six volt Trojan golf cart batteries in the rear. My questions concern the rear batteries. Should I stay with 2) 6 volt Trojans in series or go to 2) 12 volt Trojan golf cart batteries wired parallel? Should I stay with Deep cycle flooded or go to Deep Cycle Lithium, or Deep Cycle AGM, or Deep Cycle gel? Will my 80 amp alternator and PD 40 with wizard charge the Lithium, AGM, and gel type batteries correctly? The Trojan Lithium Ion has a state of charge gauge on top and a microprocessor that turns the battery off if a problem is detected. When problem goes away the integrated controller turns the battery back on. It states the TrojanTrillium is a direct replacement for lead acid batteries and chargers with AGM and gel settings with I-E profile. ( which I don’t know what is).
Any comments or experiences are welcome. Thanks..
