There is nothing wrong with gel cell batterys. Had them in my boat. 5 group 31s arranged in 3 banks which could be combined in any way for any purpose. They lasted 10 years. They spent months at a time with no attention, no trickle charger, nothing.
I expect at least 8 years out of my single 4D AGM. It also spends 6 months a year disconnected & unattended.
If you are going to make the major upgrade in battery you might as well do the same on the charging side. Again, not cheap, but I went with a marine type programable inverter/charger. The charge rate is set specifically for the type of battery & its capacity.
The standard cheap & nasty single stage converter/charger got tossed.
