[C320-list] Deka Batteries

[Jeff Hare]

Joe, 

I also use AGMs here in New England.  They charge very quickly compared to
flooded batteries if your alternator or shore power charger has the
capacity.  The best part is that if you charge them when you winterize,
they'll be fully charged in the spring when you take the cover off and start
commissioning.  No freezing and they won't discharge over time like flooded.

...but purchasing them requires quite a few Ben Franklins.

Yes to AGMs. I just redid my house battery-2 X 4Ds = 440 amp hours. Also
added "Smart Gauge" monitor (excellent) and I have 140W solar ("Gopower").
Genuine freedom.
