I agree. Most of it is advertising hype, very good hype too. Taking a step back, the logic of buying a 2 or 3X the cost battery to do essentially the same job with about the same longevity is a great marketing success.

I have two AGMs under the forward cabin sole for the thruster, a good choice for the relatively unventilated interior location.

As psneeld says, if your batteries are boiling off water maybe it is not the battery. Check for overfilling or a bad charger.
