I replaced my batteries with no maintenance Optima deep cycle 100 ah batteries. You can mount them upside down if needed. About $300 each. I keep my boat in MX on the hard in the summer. The lead acid GC 6v batts would fail after one season from loss of liquid and heat. No worries with Optima.

Moyer sells a couple of them too. What kind of batteries are you charging?

A new Balmar is very expensive and probably not worth putting on an A4. Due to the pulley ratios you are not likely to get more than 50-60 amps out of any alternator you put on there.

Joe, Also a bit of thread creep, but I'm in the process of rebuilding or replacing my alternator on the A4. Does the Balmar fit on the engine without significant modifications?
