EWT batteries advice

Are there any battery experts that can give me some advice? I am looking to replace our batteries , as they are on there way out... can someone advise me if these would work for my application? I am worried about the anchor windlass having enough amps. Any help is appriciated! I found these for 700 each, is that good, and if so any advise installing them with a good monitoring system?

Re: EWT batteries advice

Sounds really expensive... $700 per battery?

Trojan AGMs are a 1/3 of that price and wet cells even less.

I went to 6 volt golf cart batteries batteries years ago. First the are very robust and second they are smaller and lighter than 4ds or 8ds when you have to replace them

Just a thought

I don't think those are LA batteries, they don't say but it says to store them at half charge, and that sounds like Lithium type to me
