I have two Trojan T105+ deep cycles that I replaced my old 12 volt boat batteries with. Series wired, off course. I suspect I'll have more amp hours now.

Question; should I do any maintenance on those bad boys?

For heaven sakes yes! You must always make sure the acid/water level is kept above the plates in those wet cells. I check mine at least once each month....or more frequently depending on usage. Letting the battery acid get low enough to expose the plates will permanently damage the battery.

Once a month? That often for new batteries?

I can just put in purified water to bring up any low looking cells, yes? I did it with my 12 volts. they had slots on the bottom of the ports that you had to keep the water level at. Too much was bad, also.

I have gloves, a face shield and everything.
