The Great Northern Battery 6 volt units I got about 4 years ago have lasted fine so far. See here for model, size and amp hours:
http://www.gnbsystems.com/6_volt_golf_cart.php And I also use a group 24 deep cycle GNB as a starting battery and backup. Also still strong after 4 years and I never remove any of these from the boat for winter storage down to -20C around here and for about 7 months. See here: also not a sealed unit. http://www.gnbsystems.com/12_volt_multipurpose.php My receipts are on the boat but I believe thse batteries altogether were under $400 CDN taxes in...I can't complain but I will when I have to replace them...they are heavy batteries and well enough for my coastal cruising purposes, fridge is the big draw and I also still have incandescent 12 V lighting and electric marine toilet Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Bill Connon Sent: April 28, 2013 11:10 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List third battery Don Siddall wrote: > In my 35-1 on placed a big red surrette 8D in the locker on the port > side beside the mast.

Could you clue us in to what your 8D cost. Next time around I might be tempted to install a couple of less expensive 6 volt golf cart batteries in series.
