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 sore a distance away is a problem plus the corrosion on everything including he frame.
CW in Oklahoma City said they had Hawk Brand Maintenance Free deep cycles to replace the T105s for around 700.00 for four. I don't know the brand but it seems the only ones around.
And...there is little wiggle room for any differences in size.
AGMS are great but I can't justify the price.
Anyone know of a deep cycle replacement for the T105s?
Seems the market would be large for them.

  • Normal battery charging shouldn’t cause any corrosion. Only water vapor, hydrogen and oxygen will be emitted. Only when.a battery continues to draw high current from the charging source long-term will you have corrosion problems.

    If maintenance is the issue, i.e. adding water to them when required, and the space for them is suited to GC2 sized batteries, there aren't too many other options that work as well as an AGM version of the GC2 6V T105.
    Like these maybe? Only $299.99 (plus tax?). If your $700 CW quote was for 2, then this price is about the same.
