I want to know if anybody out there has changed from AGM batteries to flooded, and if so, did you have issues changing the charging algorythm on the charger, and having done that, did the flooded give you greater distance and did you put a volt meter in your vehicle to monitor the voltage better than you did with your agm/s?  We have a 2010 ZENN and have 5000 miles on our original Discover batteries and dont want to pay the high price to replace them.....and since we are good at maintenance, we have opted to go with some Trojan 1275's....heavier but higher amperage.......but should fit the current platform.
   Also, we will get a good voltage meter to monitor the use so we dont go below the 50% as much as we did with the AGM's, and we will not push the acceleration limits etc........and hopefully will get another 2000 miles out of them......what do you think?  Any suggestions would be appreciated
