AGMs on a mooring (or dock without shore power) without solar (or some other way of topping up the batteries) will, quite likely, kill the batteries very quickly (I managed to murder one in a year).

If you do use AGMs, you need to keep them charged. A mooring without a solar panel is not going to go well.

If you do decide to use them, Sams Club has group 31 deep cycle AGMs with the Energizer brand label. They are Deka batteries, exact same as West Marine sells, for about 50% of the price. Think they charge around $160 for them. The Sears Diehard Platinum grp 31 AGM is a relabeled Odyssey thin plate AGM for about half the price.
