All,
Been seeing a lot of write-ups on gassing, tilting, refilling and other
concerns to keep me away from flooded batteries.
I already have an AGM 12V on board, which I’ll use for my starting
battery, and then add 4-6 (depending on space - which, of course, is the final
frontier) 6V AGM batteries like these:

Thanks to all for the links and advice. Truly a great list.
All the best,
