I am looking to put a battery in my van that is not vented to the outside, so it looks like I will need to buy an AGM battery. I am wondering what the best place to buy one is, and what size I should get.

if those are the ones that look like a six pack, Costco has two types of them.

We bought ours online from Remy Battery. Size will depend on what you're going to use it for, and what size spot you have to place it.

Here's the link: Remy Battery

I like to shop local and have a great relationship with my local CarQuest store. He ordered 2 AGM Group 31 batteries and discounted each from $237 to $158. No shipping charge, and he recycled my old ones. He also orders Camco, Shurflo and other parts for the MH cheaper that CW. Also a great source of information.

contact Randy at BestConverter.com

I bought my AGM battery, converter, breakers, voltminder and several other things from him. I found a lot of high revommendations for 'em in the Truck Camper, Class C and Class B groups.

A couple of years ago they helped me with a problem on a major Holiday.

... can't say enuff' good about 'em.
