I was thinking about upgrading, but I am still working and not retired so I decided to keep the same setup and just replace the batteries. From reading from the threads I went with the T-105 Trojans. ITOA has IQ4 Smart Charger that will plug into my DLS-75 and hopefully help keep the batteries in shape (with the belief that the problem were the old batteries). After I finished the house batteries I also changed the chassis batteries, as both sets were 5 years old. Maybe by the time these need replaced I'll be ready to retired and give the upgrade another look. Thanks all for the input and the information this site provides.

I am also looking for advice on replacement/upgrading on the charger/battery combination. I have a 2007 Valenica with a IOTA DLS-75 charger/interstate u2200 url 6 volts(2). Looking to upgrade to trojans T-105s (4) with Xantrex truecharge2 (smart charger). My current interstates started gassing a few days ago,they have a label date of 10/9. The charger was replaced just under 2 years ago. Is it that the batteries are just to old or is it the charger causing the gassing/heating of the batteries? Anyway i was thinking it was a good time to buy new/upgrade. With the charger plugged in the volts across the pair was 13.6-13.7vlts... the batts were 6.5. unplugged 13.2vlts and 6.2vlts per. Unplugged to stop the gassing and over heating. Now hoping to move in the right direction. Thanks all.

I had this same problem when I got my coach hooked-up to home power. I too install a GFI thinking that was prudent . What I was told was 2 GFI on the the same circuit is not going to work. Removed the one and all was good.
