You're right. I have no idea what you do or how you do it with your boat. I

I've been running my station (couple years with an IC-756 Pro III, and three+
years a K3/100) on three Sun-Xtender PV-1040T AGM batteries connected in
parallel. They are 104 AH each, so I've got about 300+ AH to run my equipment.
These three batteries are connected to a

I believe the key to AGM longevity is to keep them on a proper charger 24/7.
This is what I have done with excellent results.

Hello Jack
I can see your experience is good. I haven't so far uncovered what is meant
by "life" for these batteries, perhaps it's when the energy being fed in is
more than double what is taken out or something of the kind, or the time it
takes to drain to a projected cut-off. I doubt that t

Rather than lithium ion I'd use AGM batteries. I had four of them in my motor
