Where do you find them and how much are they? Dick Nonsuch 26 "Swoose" >> Hi Dick, West Marine has a full line of AGM batteries from the tiny group U-1 up through the 8D. I am guessing that you would want something more like a group 24, 27, or 31 for anything more than light intermitant use. Here are the respective West prices: Group U-1: (32 AH): $79.99 Group 24 (79AH): $169.99 Group 27 (92AH): $189.99 Group 31 (105AH): $219.99 Good luck! Scott Grometer M15 #478 "bebe"
