[C320-list] AGM Batteries and Battery Charger

[Jack Fitzgibbon]

Installed in parallel two 4D Lifelines providing 420 amp hr of power  
almost three years ago along with a Balmar 110 amp aternator and  
Balmar three stage regulator. Also added a group 27 start battery.   
Can stay on the hook for three days before needing a recharge.   
Lifelines accept charge much quicker then flooded.  Best part, no  
maint. So far worth every penny.
