 Rick,I thought your goal was to find a group 27 battery that can handle the discharge rate, more than amp hr rating.   I agree they are expensive, and I wonder if they are as robust as a good old fashion lead acid.  I would not get to hung up on amp hrs, If you have 6 12v batteries at 100ah, I think that is plenty of juice.  Gamma has 900ah at 12v and I have never run out of juice.  I need the 900ah because of my long surface transits.   If you are towing your sub to the dive site, 600ah will be plenty for recreational diving.   The type of dive you do will make the difference.  If you are diving on a wreck site, your power consumption will be very low if you have the sub well ballasted.  If you have the sub trimmed perfectly, your vertical thrusters will work very little to move you around.   Your right about your motors, they will not be working hard often.  Maybe other K350 owners can comment on how their  batteries stand up.  I am comparing to Gamma witch has less thrust power than K350 with 3 101'sHank

Hank,

Link came threw. I looked a number of 12v batteries for golf carts but they all seemed to be no more than 100 amps and much more costly than the 125 amp lead acid ones that I have. Was there a different reason that you recommended them?

Hi Rick

Here is one of the 12v golf cart battery options on eBay.  Lots to chose from, I have had good luck with the 6v version of this battery.
