I picked up a Johnson Controls group 31 AGM a year ago, a friend picked up 3
for his house bank.
The 200 minutes reserve capacity is a plus, as is the bulk charge rate of about
40 amps in my setup.
A downside is they weigh 71 lbs.

have been in use since before 2003 when 2 owners ago installed them. I have 6
house and 1 starting. D
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..

When considering anything other than lead acid wet cells keep in mind that
all of your charging systems (alternator, solar, wind, and shore power)
will need to be properly setup for the alternative technology and
chemistry. Wet cells aren't perfect but they offer a tremendous value and
make things
Here is another thing to consider when redesigning/replacing your
batteries. The orientation of wet cells can affect their longevity.

There is a pretty solid concensus that better batteries weigh more. If you
are looking to source from a conventional store then find the heaviest
battery at the best price.
AGMs are bet
I find any good information.

IMHO gels are superior to AGM if you have the correct charging systems for
them. If you do go AGM, *by far* the cheapest way is getting GRP 31 AGMs
from Sam's Club. They are relabeled Dekas and thus identical to West Marine
AGMs for literally half the price. Lifeline will be a LOT more money and

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.
