Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Battery question
I am mostly worried about potential explosions and venting during
charging, since they would still be under an air-tight deck. Are
you talking about the gel-cell, or sealed-lead acid, David? The
reason I ask, is because those batteries have a small fraction of
the energy density of a marine deep cycle lead-acid. Do you have
some good battery sources?
