Practical advice for boats and motorhomes
Salt air on a mooring corrodes battery terminals faster than anywhere inland. Use identical batteries of the same age when connecting several in parallel. A motor mover that struggles may be a sign of a weak battery.

The gel technology explained
Nothing can spill from a gel cell, because the electrolyte no longer flows. Deep cycling is where gel batteries really shine. Recharge a gel battery soon after each discharge rather than leaving it empty.
