Very interesting battery banter. For me the best flooded U1 is probably the way to go, I bet I can fit that with the existing batteries under the qb. . 450 cca, and the same charging profile as my grp 31 flooded house bank. (The xantrex charger makes you select one one profile for all

Just for info, most 2-3 cylinder marine diesel starters require 150-200 CCA (cold cranking amps). Recommended battery size from many diesel manufacturers is 400-600 CCA. Dennis C. ___ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list

Paul, When this discussion came up in the past someone quoted the yanmar owners manual as stating that the minimum CCA of a starting battery should be 200. I really appreciate the added research into the eqAh rating. That is some misleading bullshit. As for charging at the rated amperage of
