Al,

Thank you for the explanation. I have had those questions for a long time. I am a bit abusive on equipment. Given that I am unlikely to change is one type of battery more forgiving than an other type given my bad habits? Lastly, How damaging would it be if I stuck a Gel Coat battery in for my electronics and parallel ported a Wet Cell Starting battery with an on/off switch? (In my aluminum boat I have a designated Wet Cell Napa starting battery. I have a designated Interstate Wet Cell for my electronics currently. I am thinking of changing that to a Gel Coat and replacing the Interstate Wet Cell. When the designated electronics battery runs low, I could switch the on/off parallel port line and feed some charge back to the Gel coat or go the other direction if the starting battery ran low) Will this work or is it a very bad idea?
