BTW, Lifeline AGMs are standard equipment on many U.S. Navy crafts, fine
yachts built by Pacific Seacraft, Island Packet, and Hinckley Company to

Coach,
Royal Coach and Vantare Coach.

Ok, you and the Lifeline site convinced me. I need new batteries,
I'll give them a try.


If you're half as satisfied as I've been with their performance, you'll feel
great about the purchase. I've had friends by them on my recommendation,
and they've been equally pleased. Happy boating.

5. Efficiency. Due to their relatively high internal resistance,

Should read: Due to their relatively low internal resistance.

Well Tom,
As long as its a fantasy game;
Had you purchased a Kohler, or other marine generator, the point would be

I dont' think AGM is a great technology for high use batteries.

AGM's are exactly what you want for batteries with frequent and deep
charge
cycles. You simply bought the wrong ones.

Ok, let's play a game.

Which ones should I have purchased?

Hardly. I have a 5KW Kohler genset on my boat, and it has absolutely
nothing to do with my criteria for selecting batteries. Please explain how
the presence of a marine genset renders moot the safety, durability,
performance, and maintenance advantages of AGM batteries over flooded cells?
Also, if you wouldn't mind, please provide some background regarding your
rank of Captain. Just curious on the latter.

I suppose, but it would look a little silly on a inshore 20 foot bay
boat.

Any why is that?

Or are you implying that everyone should run a generator 24 hours a day?

Not at all Rod.

I just thought the whole thread was getting little too serious and decided
to throw in something totally silly. G

Sorry you didn't pick up on the joke.
