I had two gel cell batteries on my 27-5. I took one home over the winter and
put it on a smart auto trickle charger. It was dead when I put it back on the
boat. The one I left was still working. I replaced them with flooded and had
no problems over the winter. Flooded were a fraction of the
Just because it works doesn’t mean that you are going to get optimal
results. Follow the link below to see the differences between flooded and

I have been cruising for over 2 years with 4 AGMs (Group 31) and a 110-amp

David,
You need to look at the battery manufacturer's info to know the charge
profile for your batteries. To change the alternator charge profile you'll
probably need to install an external regulator. The most important part of
the profile is the max charging voltage. Most AGMs are limited to 1

I have AGM batteries and they are charged exclusively by the alternator or
solar panel. In neither case do I know of a way to regulate the charging for
compatibility with AGM. The charger for shore power is set for AGM, but I
rarely use it. Is there something I should be doing with the altern
charge profile (and a higher capacity
charger).

I don't think a formalized commercially available box is specifically
required. If you find references contrary please let me know. However
"battery boxes" serve multiple purposes beyond acid containment. Properly
engineered and installed boxes ensure that a loop seal is maintained such

I have 4 AGM on my C&C , two laying on their sides and none of them in
boxes. Since AGM are completely sealed no need for boxes or having them
upright.

Hi Pete, my boat has AGMs in the bilge--not in boxes--and my surveyor was fine

Pete,
I believe they do. Also, it’s not a good idea to mix battery types.
All the best,
Edd

I’m not sure where to reference the regulations/guidelines on this, so if
someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
I would like to add a couple more batteries and am looking at AGMs due to
their tolerance of being at an angle. Since, as I understand, they are not
