[C320-list] PLEASE SUGGEST BATTERY REPLACEMENT

[Pat Ireland]

Some recommend replacing the original wet cells with truck batteries, others
like the golf cart 6V cells, and heavy users move up to AGM or ?????
Ugrades may require a new charger.  The addition of a dedicated starting
battery is a nice backup.  It all depends on how you use the boat and how
much you can justify spending for storage capacity.

There is quite a bit of discussion that you can read by searching the
forum.  The Catalina 34 forum has some interesting info as well.

We day sail, so the truck batteries were a cost effective solution for us.
Your mileage may vary.
