8D sealed or non sealed Engine batteries?
#10

I decided to go with standard maintenance type batteries mainly since they came in a 1400cca flavor. They are replacing 1155cca batteries which honestly are about 30lbs lighter than the new ones. Crazy. I still have to get the new heavier batteries out of the jeep. I went this route mainly due to the more robust construction. Hopefully I'll get 5 years on these. I'll add another Victron 25 amp maintainer on the new ones to help keep them in top shape all while running off the solar/lithium bank setup. There's the old trick of adding mineral oil to the batteries to keep them from evaporating but I think that's not necessary if they are checked and topped at a regular interval.
