Tom and all,
I think I'd be more worried about corrosion issues associated with H2S gas
mixing with water vapor and creating sulfuric acid (H2SO4)

Bingo. My solar powered repeater developed charging issues, and when I went to
check, it was due to corrosion on the homebrew charge controller's PC
Charging batteries at a site after an extended power failure can be a
problem. There are not a lot of automotive/boat applications where the
battery is completely discharged like what happens at a radio site after
a long power failure. If the charging rate is not current limited a lot
of gas
If you are using flooded lead acid cells, one thing to consider is the
use of HydroCaps. These devices reduce both water consumption and gas
generation. They are commonly used in both marine and solar power
applications.
I have used them in back up power applications and they work well as
. Not been a problem, well so far any way.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback so far!
So here is what is bothering me this afternoon. Maybe someone here can shed
some light on this for me.
The battery I am thinking about using was one I bought a while ago for my boat,
but I didn't use it because it was too big for the battery box in
I am going to be installing a repeater that has capability for battery backup
soon. I have room in the bottom of the cabinet for a couple of batteries.
I know If I want to have them in the cabinet then i need to look at AGM type so
I don't have to worry about venting spillage. I can fit 2
