Easy to say unless you've got a 160 lb 8D batt installed under a shelf
and behind 4 other batteries. It's lucky to get checked once a year.


In which case fit an auto watering system. I've got 1500lb of cells to
check under the floor!!


OMG! I believe I could run my *house* for a few days with that much
battery! I can't imagine how many things we could add to the boat to
consume that sort of power.

I'd ask if you were in a sub, except that I seem to recall that they
have even more battery backup.
