In my 2006 240 Sundeck I have the 2 battery setup both are the same and were purchased from Westmarine last year. Both require me to put distilled water in them (They are called wet acid batteries right?)
Forgive my lack of battery knowlege but that's why I'm here for all of you experts to guide me in the right direction.
This week Westmaries flyer has the:
PRO MARINER ProSport 12, 2 Outputs, 12/24V, 12A Capacity on sale for about $100
Already exchanged emails with James Mitchell at Pro Mariner and he said this would be perfect and is what he uses in his families boat which is also a 240SD
Since I last replaced my batteries at the beginner of last year I ended up getting laid off and the new job I ended up at had my at a client site for 10+ months so no boating action for me.
My fear at this point is that I'll have to replace them again (which is one reason to get this charger).
My other question though is if I do have to replace them I'm thinking of going with AGM batteries so that I don't have to worry about the water level in them.
My only problem with that is what brand/size should I be looking at?
