I know this has been discussed before and I must admit that I didn't search real hard but maybe it would be good to talk about it again anyway.
I will be taking a weeklong fishing trip this spring and I am in the market for a second deep cycle battery for my boat just to make sure I have adequate power for the trip. I currently use a 105AH Stowaway and it works great. I could go with another one just like it but I have been hearing there are other battery types that might be even better such as gel cells or whatever.
Given the choice what would you guys/gals choose?
Thanks,
Bob
Edit: Thought I'd mention that I do not plan on connecting them together. My plan is to use one and then switch to the other when it gets low on power. I don't like to hook batteries in parallel because if one is week, it drains the other.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
