I’ve had my absorption fridge spring an ammonia leak twice.  I was done and decided to try the JC refrigerator conversion.  I wish I had done it after the first time it crapped out. If I was ordering new under no circumstances would I have another absorption system.  I can’t give you a recommendation on which 12 volt but mine would definitely be 12 volt.

Disregard, no response so I’ve gone ahead and found an alternative locally.

5 months is a looong time in terms of if Sam’s Club is still carrying a specific product. Same can be said for Costco etc. At least that’s the case out here.

I know this is an older thread but I’m wondering if anyone has seen these Duracell AGM batteries at Sam’s Club recently?   My batteries are hanging in but it’s time.  They are not available in California but I’m traveling East starting in June, via interstate 10 to start.

The more I search the more I think it’s regional.  I’ve physically checked local Sam’s clubs and they don’t carry them or offer to order them. Could be some other areas in my state do but I’m not driving hundreds of miles looking for batteries

Tin, on my 2552, I pulled my tray, flattened the front lip to give me the needed length, removed the hasps,(no longer needed), swapped out my rails to a set with 500 lb capacity and lowered them as far as they could be installed. This gave me  just over 11” of clearance in height and plenty of length.  The two slots where the hasps used to grasp are perfect for an adjustable tarp strap, (Home Depot), that holds the tray solid. The 500 lb rated sliders run smooth as glass.

Larry . It pops up but says not available for Shipping, pickup or delivery.  I’m wondering if it might be regional.

On Sam’s web site.   I’ve tried the following searches

Duracell platinum GC2AGM

Duracell platinum GC2 AGM

Duracell GC2 AGM

Golf cart battery

Golf car battery

Duracell AGM

GC2

EGC2


I have no idea where I’m going wrong but I’ve yet to find those batteries listed.

I’d order them today if I could find where they are hiding.

Thank you Ron.   That’s a great price. I’ll need to see if local Sam’s club carries them


Well sadly, not all Sam’s carry the same products.   Local has Duracell 6 volt and 3 different batteries but none that are agm.    Such is life

Update on fridge conversion to 12 volt.  We recently took a short 4 day trip. At 5 pm the day before departure I turned the fridge on.  The following morning when loading the fridge was at 34 degrees and the freezer was at 4. Over the course of the 4 days the fridge maintained between 33.5 and 34.9 degrees. I never had to make any adjustments.  It’s as sim Poole as just turning on your fridge. Nothing to adjust.  The one con is while connected to shore power.  In the 2552 the charging unit is directly below the bed. The 12 volt systems causes the charger to kick on frequently. It’s an additional fan noise along side the inverters fans. This may or may not bother you.  Personally I wish I could throw a switch to turn the charger off at night.

Overall I wish I’d known of this sooner. I like it soooooo much better than the three way system.

One change I’ll make is If I find a way to shut the charger off at night it will be on my to do list.

My rig came with the slider and two 12 volts.  I’ve been able to upgrade my sliders to 500 lb and I lower it enough to allow 11” of clearance getting under the outer door.  Agm allows the most room     and power wise seems like the best choice over all.   The cost of the AGM did take me back a bit.

Ron.. Thank you, I’ll look them up. How long did you have them or are you still using them?

Looks like there’s not much savings over Trojan.  $426, less cycles and one year warranty.

Keel….    I saw that advantage wants $312 for the Trojan agm but that’s pickup only and they won’t ship. Locals here say then go buy it there being it’s 2500 miles away.  The Trojan agm can safely be taken well below 50% repeatedly with no issue. That aside, If I don’t need it I can save a lot. Now having the 12 volt fridge I’m in that I don’t know what I don’t know area. I’ve read that the AGM can accept higher/ faster recharge rates ,(thinking gen run time while dry camping) and are better at power delivery as well, (running the coffee maker on occasion). I’m really out of my wheelhouse here so I’m looking for as much guidance as I can obtain.
