Max battery weight for View 24K?

[cjshaker]

Does anyone know the suggested max house battery weight for the 2011 View 24K?

I'm considering upgrading to AGM batteries to get more capacity, and to avoid having to check water levels. They seem to be quite heavy, and I don't want to break the battery tray.

Is the stock converter safe for AGM batteries?

Thank you,
Chris Shaker

If you can get the batteries into the compartment then the battery tray can hold them...call WGO and see what they have to say...

Contact the battery manufacturer and ask them. The OEM Parallax charger in your View puts out ~13.6 Volts. AGM batteries like ~13.2 Volts.
Do you keep your MH on shore power all the time when not on the road?

I looked at the battery tray this afternoon, and took measurements. It indeed looks stout enough to hold whatever we can cram in there.

I finished installing the 'Progressive Dynamics PD4645 4600 Series 45 Amp Converter Upgrade Section' last week. At least 90% of the work is replacing the fuse panel. The new fuse panel includes a pushbutton and LED for the charge wizard, so you can see what it is doing, and change modes if desired. I am very pleased with the converter upgrade. First off, it really does float the battery at 13.2 volts. Second, it has two quiet thermostatically controlled fans on it. It seems much quieter than the original converter fan.
