Maintnence Free Deep Cyelse 6 Volt Batteries
You can find maintenance free 1w volt batteries everywhere. My T105s have plenty of capacity and long life as long as they are serviced properly. But adding water every few weeks, especially when so...

THe major cause of corrosion when you use Flooded Wet Cells is mis-information
The 2nd major cause is quick charging.
Per Trojan. and me and I was trained back when this was the most common type of battery. You fill to 1/4 to 1/8 inch BELOW the bottom of the filler tube.. NOT to the bottom but BELOW it.. Over filling means it will spit out not water but dilute sulfuric acid, a corrosive.
I've heard of folks filling to the TOP of the tube.
Over charging can cause it to spit as well. or hyper fast charging.
I run around 500 amp hours plus so I can safely charge at 150 amps.. but I can only make 160 between two converters and they will NEVER hit that level. Thus I never fast charge.
