Hi, Larry,
	We have 4 Trojan T-105's on JACE.  Easier to install (62lbs each), and
that gives us 450 AH total capacity, >100 useable within the 25% range
of usage.  Currently they list for $138 at most solar outlets, and you
may find them cheaper.  The last set lasted <5 years with horrible
treatment by me, so I think they are a good and economical solution.
However they do not fit the stock box under the table settee, I have two
there and two in a plastic box strapped into the quarter berth.
