Re: Stus-List Marine Batteries (Dreuge)

2018-04-06 Thread David Knecht via CnC-List
I have been following this thread with interest because I suspect my AGM’s have 
been mistreated and may need replacement.  What modifications to the setup are 
needed if the 6V fit in the battery compartment?  I presumed you would just 
wire the double 6V in series and everything else would be the same? Dave

There is a bunch of write-ups on marine batteries at Maine Sail’s website. 
Including some recommendations regarding the manufacturers and also how many 
cycles (discharge/charge) you can expect from some of them.

If I recall correctly, the golf cart batteries have heavier plates (more lead) 
are deeper (hence they may not fit in all battery lockers, but have more 
electrolyte over the plates so even some serious heeling does not affect them) 
and can sustain substantially more cycles than just about anything else. But 
they require some modifications to your set-up and usually they are more 
expensive.

I was in the exact position as you two years ago and I have 4 of the Sams Club 
Duracell GC batteries.  No complaints here whatsoever.  They perform as they 
should.
