32v Battery Replacement

[zigzag930]

Skinners1, can you tell me what brand and model batteries you used?

Looking at US Battery, Trojan and Fullriver (AGM)

2 yrs in on our 32V Port Starting/House Bank with (4) 8v Heavy Duty Cycle GC Batteries and so far don't regret it. (Actually just changed over the Starboard Starting Bank this week)

We live in SC so not normally too cold and I utilize the engine warmers when necessary.

12V71s fire right up...

I use US Battery 8v for our stbd/house and port start bank, no problems with the outback inverter either.

Are these the FLA or AGM? Do you recall the model?

US Battery said they are concerned with the battery posts (1/4" stud) on the FLA 8V and said they would only recommend the AGM version for that reason as it also has automotive sale terminals.

Seems hard to find (if any) golf cart batteries with Marine style flag terminal.

Even the AGM's from Fullriver are recessed (bolt down) terminals, but at least they are supposedly brass, not lead - so less prone to melting.
