Well I took the deep cycle battery to Advance Auto Parts and they load tested it and said it was DOA which I figured. While there I looked at Optima AGM battery ( blue top) but at $188 plus I held off. I may have a problem with my onboard charger as far as mixing and matching AGM and lead acid. The charger has a setting for lead acid or AGM or gel. It is one setting for the unit which is a two bank unit. I sent an email to the ProMariner folks asking if I would have a problem with setting if I use Optima on one bank and lead acid ( starting) on the other bank. Still waiting for answer. Yes I can also replace my starting battery with AGM but $380 plus tax for two batteries is too much!
That would get my per fish pound average cost down to about $100. Maybe I should sell the boat and eat lobster at every meal and still be ahead in the game. And I dont even kill any fish!
No decision yet.
