If you can live with charging at reasonable charging rates, you'll have a
safer boat and get better performance with AGM's.


What do you consider reasonable. One guy says 15% of capacity per
hour. If you run them for three hours that leaves time to charge them
at the twenty hour rate. One inland lake cocktail cruise per day. Two
of the biggest trolling motors made draw how much juice?

There's really A LOT to say about batteries and charging, especially
because everybody has a different charging and usage situation. One
excellent document that has just about all info is this one:
