    Some other thoughts for you… As our illustrious Captain likes to say, “Ask me how I know this”: take care with charging your batteries. Each battery type, lead acid, AGM and Lithium has a different charging strategy and a different charging rate voltage. Match the charger type to the battery type. And it is not a good idea to mix battery types in a battery group e.g. a three battery 36 volt group. I ruined an expensive Optima battery putting it in with a lead acid battery in a battery group not knowing any better. And actually can cause a battery to explode during charging. I spent the $$$ and acquired a Minn Kota 4 bank charger. On this charger each battery has a separate lead and each lead can have a separate charging strategy. If you use a single lead charger for charging different battery types you would want to make sure to select the correct battery type.
