Hello, Dependability? Practicality? Both, I guess, but more importantly, I fear some unforeseen calamity in which my batteries discharge to a level from which they cannot be restored. Is that a realistic concern? They thought of flushing the battery investment down the toilet is very frightening. Again, thanks for assistance. This is all new to me. John

Actually a small solar panel just big enough to overcome self-discharge rates wouldn't need anything but a diode to prevent battery power back flowing to the panel.

I'm in the thought process of an electric repower of my boat. Most everything says I should convert based on numbers. One of the considerations, absenteeism, just hasn't been addressed in the sources that I've utilized.
So here's the question, if an boat owner can't visit a boat for periods of time that could run up to two months on occasion coupled with more frequent absences lasting several weeks, is there a better battery choice to be made?
In another two years or so, I should hope to be able to pay much more (almost daily) and long periods of absenteeism would virtually be eliminated.
Should I wait to do the repower? I have a perfectly working diesel presently.
Thanks for your informed responses. John
