You child abuser....it makes me shudder to picture your poor, abused children, boating without even an X-Box. You're going to pay for this neglect later when they grow up to be self-sufficient, well-adjusted adults -- you'll see.

My wife had exactly the opposite attitude when we cruised on our boat -- she did not want to be "camping" on water.....but... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (azure42) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/2275 Thu, 23 Mar 2006 08:02:59 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/2274/t/Battery-gases-Wet-cells-vs-AGMs.html#reply-2274
I hate stereo music and prefer listening to the waves lap against the hull. We don't do TV and would rather watch our kids fish off the bow or pop a crab box over the side. And I pitched the microwave overboard to increase my space. And I refuse to use paper plates --- !!

I watch all you guys with these significant projects and sometimes appreciate "my simplicity".... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (cathyinct) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/2274 Wed, 22 Mar 2006 21:20:51 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/2273/t/Battery-gases-Wet-cells-vs-AGMs.html#reply-2273
There are several threads about how to go about it, but all of the methods do the job.

As Rod says, batteries don't normally generate significant quantities of hydrogen gas unless they are charged at high rates with excessive voltage. Normal ventilation is more than adequate to prevent any build up in the cabin. You're kids aren't at risk.

It's hard to get more AH/$ than you get with wet cells. Gel cells are heavy and expensive for the AH rating. Use the wrong charging voltage and they are dead.

We changed to AGM golf carts last year and are very satisfied. We have 8 in the house bank and a group 27 as starting.

Is there a risk or only if they are cooking ?

Is that the primary reason I would want to go to AGMs ?

CAn someone comment on that aspect ?
