I like the idea of the marine switch. Battery array dead? No problem. I'll just switch to another array. If you ever decide to go solar, there are usually two bank connections on the charger as well....

The folks at Lifeline are right Santiago. It's not the chemistry that makes the configuration less than completely optimal though, it's the difference in capacity. In effect, you aren't getting the...

From what I've read, if you want to use 4 6v batteries and produce 12v output, you wire each pair in series and then to each other in parallel - a "series parallel" arrangement. As long as the...

Who's to say? They have relatively good reviews and claim to last 8 to 10 years but reviews are sometimes suspect. Seem decent enough.

Noticed they use bolt terminals instead of the standard post...
