I have a two bank system. Both banks are group 24's from MK Batteries. I am kinda forturnate that I am a technician that works with 24 and 12 volt systems relating to hi-tech systems in power wheelchairs. Both banks are from "take offs" of 80% or better chairs. The batteries that I am currently using are over 4 years old and still provide plently of power for my needs. I use a 12 volt DC "smart charger" that conditions the batteries. I have never had any problems with the DC system on my boat. One bank is under the port side berth just aft of the galley stove, the other under the "coffin berth" on the starboard side. It really is overkill when you think about it. However, all the lighting on the boat is LED and the electonics are basic, speed, depth and kick ass stereo! If you want, e-mail me off list and I can give you some ideas on how to save $$$$$.
