How long does the 100 ah last now ? dunno, but I would say not much left at the end of the run by the way the genset complains !!! ( Have a diode in the sense wire ) I have to give it full throttle for enough power for a while... How many amps is that ? dunno my old amp meter only goes to 60 amp and that is only idling along. New amp meter coming when I get around to it.

I noticed these ,

seem to be single cells already strapped up , with the ability to check each cell if needed.
It would still go in a battery box of some sort. Not sure how to monitor voltage , probably use a cell logger for charging but in the boat maybe just a volt meter to stay above 12 v.
