    hanks to all who responded to my query about AGM batteries. My summary of
    the responses is:

    1. Almost everyone (but not all) who has them likes them and will buy them
    again.
    2. Small charging systems may not be able to take advantage of their
    rapid-charging capabilities.
    3. In some systems, they may charge slower than lead-acid batteries.
    4. They have not been in use long enough to determine durability and
    longevity under normal cruising conditions.
    5. They may not win over golf cart batteries on a strictly economic basis.
