Hello list

I'm thinking I need new batteries, after 5 seasons, mostly with an older charger, i can only get about 50 Ahrs out of the set of 2 x 4D's in parallel. This is good for 3 days on the hook, with 30 minutes of engine time to make hot water and charge etc. 

I have the Xantrex now with a Link 10 monitor so I have a good idea on how the batteries charge and also how they deliver Amp-hours etc.

What has the been the experience of those who have purchased new batteries recently? Prices etc. I'll probably go with wet Lead-Acid again.
