Thanks Allan!
My house batteries are in the stbd lazarette but fully aft under the hatch. My stbd engine battery is a bit fwd, but since it is shorter there is plenty of room for maint.
I went with flooded because I had a situation in a truck where the keys got left on and the two almost new AGM batteries were ruined.
On my boat, it was left with the shore pedistle breaker off after the harbor moved it a long time ago. The almost new interstate FLA batteries fully discharged, and stayed that way for two weeks while I was away.
I hit those FLA batteries with the charger, they took current, and I used those very same batteries for another 8 seasons.
That performance sold me on keeping my FLA batteries, because if they were AGM’s I would have lost the bank.
