Nickel Iron does not sulfate, The fill lines are above the plates and the orientation can eliminate any possable exposure to the air.

I tend to agree with Miles and Matthew on using some type of lead acid batteries. AGM's make the most sense for my needs. But, I do find the discussions here very informative no matter what the type. Since I am also working on some energy projects at my house too. As I said AGM's are my choice. But, I wonder about flooded and nickel iron battery use on a monohull sailboat. While under sail such a boat may be healed over under sail for a long time. I wonder if there is a danger the plates might be exposed to air (and sulfated) if they are not kept topped up completely when sailing. Just curious.
