Decided on Flooded Lead Acid deep cycle battery.
Simply the most watt-hours per dollar, and (hopefully) longevity.
I briefly considered Lithium, but I don't have any spare kidneys to sell!
I was interested in AGM due to the no top-up thing, and in theory the plates can't drop sulphates, etc., and my flash new solar regulator is allegedly fully programmable to suit.
But, bang for buck - FLA.
The thing that had me considering alternatives to the FLA was the water.
Specifically, I'd like to mount the battery under the galley counter between the fridge and the forward bulk head. Couldn't make it any harder to get at for maintenance.
Has anyone mounted their battery on a slide out? I could make the fridge slide out big enough for both.
Did it allow extra vibration and cause early failure?
I know, it's very hard to pin battery failure to something like that, but if anyone has had a bad experience?
