Hello:

I just replaced my 400 ah house bank.

DO NOT go to West Marine. Look first to stores that supply other items
to a specific "industry" or field. For example, In the NW there is a
chain farm/ranch supply store namend D&B Supply. They sell 6v Trojan
T-105 (225 Ahr @ 20 hr rate)for $59.00 each

I guess they figure the poor ranchers can't afford to shop at West
Marine.

I also get antibotics by the pint for about $14.00 and the feed store.
If you don't mind giving your pet a shot you can save $100s on vet
bills. Same idea.

Do not get stuck with the idea that something for a boat must be
"marine."

The old boat had a couple of 4D's at 220 Amp each. The new boat is
currently using fairly standard 12 volt RV size batteries at 110 ratings
each. I'm thinking of going to the 6 volt variety as I have to go back up
to or near 400 Amp hours of storage. Which size, which voltage, and why?
If six volt are the fairly inexpensive one's from Costco (golf cart
batteries)useful or should I just spend the money at West Marine?
