Check out AGM batteries. They are sealed. You can turn them upside down. They last way long and basically maintenance free. A very safe battery for a boat. They are also a lot more expensive. My 32" has a very small space at the back of the engine room. I have a very difficult time trying to get my head just above the batteries to check the water level so it just didn't happen. The result was old flooded batteries that were not checked and had a shorter life span and died. I got a smoking deal on a pair of 6V AGM for my house bank so it was a no brainer for me to go the AGM route. A good place to read about the pros and cons is West marines catalogue site. Then make the choice. For me the ease of maintenance, safety and life span made jumping to AGM's a better investment.

Does anyone know if Costco still sells marine batteries? I need to replace my starting batteries. Recommendations on a budget starting battery? Do I need to go with a starting battery or deep cycle? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
