I need a recommendation for the type/size of batteries for my Rhodes 22. It's a 2000 that was refurbished by Stan in 2017. I managed to kill both batteries by poor (actually no) maintenance so I learned an expensive lesson. I have two solar panels that keep the batteries charged and I have minimal power requirements while sailing since I only use the motor lift, VHF radio, and Garmin GPS on a regular basis. I use the running lights infrequently. I would like to purchase the new batteries today, probably from AutoZone here on Kent Island in Maryland. I searched the site documents and this forum for 'Rhodes batteries for dummies' but didn't find explicit guidance on this. thanks very much, Bob Garrant s/v Sail la Vie 2000See the original archive post
