    Batteries

    I think my batteries are starting to go so I thought I'd ask what you think the best route is.

    Charger
    I was looking at the ProMariner 12 on board charger. Is another 8 amps a big enough reason to go with the ProMariner 20 for another $50? Anything better for the price?

    Batteries
    I was at Sam's Club and they had three different options
    Optima D34MS $155.82 55AH
    Optima D34DC $155.18 50AH
    Energizer 29HM $64.42 125AH
    Anything better for the price?

    The Optima D34MS are a good price and a good battery. The ProMariner chargers are nice and so are the Xantrex

      I dont think 8 amps is worth $50

      I had 2 Interstate batteries in our last boat and they never failed me. The Tige has 2 Interstates and I just added a Trojan 140 amp/hr Deep-Cycle for $98.00. Ive heard good things about them.

                Okay, being a computer programmer and don't understand electricity very well.... Sorry, only can be a brainiac in one department. How does this third battery relate your your other post????

                  Evil I would stay away from a Wet battery unless you are very good at keeping them up. Knowing you are in Vegas you have the dry heat to deal with. I killed some Trojans T-105's in 2 years by not keeping them up. If not the Trojan T-105's are a great battery for the stereo. 2 6V are 225 Amp Hours. You should be able to pick up 2 for about $200.

                    These Trojans are very nice but cost about $165 each and you need 2

                          The original picture is how it relates. Your altered picture has 4 batteries. He has one starter battery isolated from his two stereo batteries.
