Hi guys
Has anyone ever used or currently using "Fullriver" brand AGM batteries? If so, thoughts on them please?
Thanks!

I buy my batteries from a wholesale place in canning vale. Always does a good deal. Just replaced mine in the boat for 130 each.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

AH rating?
What AH rating are they, mate? $130 is cheap if they're the usual 80-100AH!!

Cheap as!
Mate, thats a really good price for a 720cca with 80ah! Do you use them as house batteries or starting or both?

Both. I was happy with the deal that's for sure. I try to change boat batteries every 2 years as I do some long runs.

Great stuff!
Awesome. I assume they're the mob that advertises on gumtree selling "neuton power"?
Thanks for the heads up, mate!

Just had a look at the Aussie Motor Home forums, and there are people on there using them and they are saying they are ok so long as they don't get abused. That means they don't get down to far.

Thanks for the input guys.
Thanks for the input guys. I've also been researching them and most people seem to recommend them. But its mainly caravan users, not boaters. Thinking of adding a 120AH to power the sound system in the boat... ha!

Full River
i have had a deep cycle full river AGM in the back of my ute for a few years, has been very good but the only AGM I have owned so couldn't compare to others. In saying that it is much better than any lead acid deep cycle I have had previously including trojans

Marine AGM?
Are there such things as "normal deep cycle AGM" and "marine deep cycle AGM"?

all AGM batteries are
all AGM batteries are vibration and shock resistant so all could claim to be "marine", I'm running redback's from blue apple in my camper and optima's as starter batteries and haven't had issues. I'm a fan of minimal fumes etc. And being able to side mount them if needed. But gee they ain't cheap :)

I've been running the deep cycles
I've been running 2 Fullriver deep cycle 105ah jobs on solar for several years now, still very good capacity.
