They are always a week or three out lately.

You need to replace all 4 at the same time.

I was chasing 8v's batt's, and Rolls still makes them. Some dealers/distributors have them in stock. If not, they told me its a 4-6 week wait. The dealers I spoke to are in New England.

WONDER HOW long 32 v will last. Cost to change over to 12/24 V

Here in SoFl I usually get 4 to 5 years out my batteries. Doesn’t matter if they’re 8v, 6v or 12v… in 12v, 24v, 32v or 48v banks, whether LA, AGM or gels.. 4 to 5 years it is.

Our 45 year old Bertram is still 98.5% 32Vdc.
I'm not in any hurry.

Some MSDII and electronic equipment just doing 24Vdc these days.
So I had to tap on 24V for my 10KW radar and new poo cooker.

I have lots of spare pumps and lights I have shopped for thru the years.

32V stuff just not on the shelves at marine stores but easily ordered in.

The 19 inch 8V batteries were slow selling and discontinued. Longer and shorter batteries are still available.

Yep!!

Yep!!

And I should mention that this is with modern multistage chargers set to the correct type. In case of flooded batteries that’s with checking the level every couple Of months
