The 'wet' batteries (e.g. Trojan T-105) have a good price/performance ratio and I like them because they can be charged with high amps (not so the gel batteries).
I buy double-destilled water (ddH2O) in gallons from a lab, it is even cheaper than that 'battery water' in smaller bottles (which I do not trust anyway).


Good brands of batteries, treated well, last 3 - 4 years.

Thanks for your answer.
