were highly rated then by several reviews.
They claim to be made from 'virgin' (as opposed to recycled) lead, are ~ $350
each and weigh at least 70 lbs.

I switched back to gel. I had too many issues with AGM batteries and golf carts
don't fit my battery locker.
If you do want AGMs, the sweet spot is Group 31s. Truckers use them for running
stuff while parked, so they get produced in large quantities. The cheapest 31
is a DuraCell labeled 31 at
Same here with the AGM batteries. I installed 2 x 27 4 x 31 West Marine

and that is even after issues with the Ample Power alternator and it's

Did you notice serious AH loss? That’s too bad. Batteries are getting
expensive, solar panels are getting cheap. So you can extend deep cycle
battery life by cycling them at higher % capacity . Like 100-75

Batteries fall into three rough categories: automotive starting batteries, deep
cycle batteries, and dual purpose. Marine starting batteries fall into the dual

For lead acid (aka wet cell) batteries, the electrical capacity is a function
of the weight of lead in the battery.

I have a note on my survey to improve battery locker ventilation. Currently
there is a 3 by 3 vent cowl to the cabin.
I think ventilation goals are:

2. Combustible fumes
