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..

Every boater has an opinion on batteries.  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.

Hi,

 

Its time for battery replacement.  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.
