I am actually leaning toward the VMAX group 31, which I can buy directly from
the company. They are made in the US and Vietnam, appear to have good and
complete specifications (cycling, design etc.). I can get the Group 31 with
135Ah for $349 vs. the Lifeline Group 31 which is 105 Ah for $428
One of the newer chargers.
I got a Pronautic 1220P for my start battery for some reason, and it has a
setting on it for LiFePO4.
I will send you a PDF of the manual off list.

Another question that haven't seen in this discussion. What battery charger
do you need for this type of battery? My charger has setting for flooded,
sealed and AGM, and I haven't seen many chargers that mention LiFePO4settings.

Pretty much that. If you don’t mind having wet batteries those are probably
fine. Having a battery crack open and dump acid in the bilge during a hurricane
was a stinky situation I do not care to repeat.

The battery you indicated appears not to be an AGM. Flooded batteries in
general are much cheaper than the AGM. My battery compartment is not easily
accessible, so having to maintain the water level in the battery, worries
about operating it while healed plus the potential danger of spills ma
