What impact does requirement of ISAF that batteries be of type that cannot leak electrolyte...does this require agm or gel for racers? Or are wet cell Sealed sufficiently to comply? I read to require agm or gel after 1/2012.. Bill Walker CnC 36 Pentwater, Mi

I've been using Delco Voyager wet cell batteries for almost 20 years. Usually get 7-8 years life. Except for the spill prevention aspect of AGMs, I think the Voyagers offer the most bang for the buck. The pro fishermen like them also. On the other hand, I just replaced the battery in my truck this morning. Advance Auto Motorcraft brand. Didn't last 24 months. Had to go through the idle relearn hassle. Pain in the butt. If it hadn't been a free replacement, I'd have switched the truck to Delco batteries. Dennis C.

I am presently using Interstate #31 Deep cell (2 house, 1 for start). Looking to go AGM route and seeking advice for which manufacturer/brand seems to be most reliable and longevity for the money. Leaning toward Lifeline after some research. Very open to other recommendations based on experience. I use a couple solar cells for trickle charging as on a mooring. Thanks for your advice.
