Currently I have six 6V Trojan L16-ac old school lead acid batteries and they are old and showing signs of decay. Worse than that they now will not power up the inverter consistently so I fear they are shot.
I'm transitioning to four deep cycle 12V Gel batteries from Renology, each rated at 200ah. They are supposed to last around 15 years and come with a three year warranty.
Finally I'll be swapping out a bunch of old battery cables that may be CCA (copper coated aluminum) with all copper marine cables with s gauge of 0/1.
Does this sound like a decent power source for house batteries?
I do have twelve solar panels plus three 8D batteries for main engine and generator starts.
