AGM's
I'm locked in the same charging conundrum as everyone else and will probably end up with at least four different charging options. I have settled on AGM however and would support anyones decision to go with them over wet cells or gells. I installed two banks of 3 group 31 AGMs wired parallel they provide around 315 amp hours per bank, that size happened to fit perfectly into the access space I had available, also they are manageable weight wise at around 75 lbs, I would have prefered to install a couple of 8D's but there was no room low in the boat and I'm dead against setting weight up too high.
On the subject of power usage refrigeration is generally public enemy number one, has anyone had any experience with Sterling motor systems as opposed to Rankine cycle, they use Helium and CO2 and have a linear motor as opposed to reciprocal. Supposedly they are quite a bit more efficient.
