There are two types of dry cell batteries. One is a glass mat battery (Optima and others) and the ssecond is gel cells. The diffence being that the electrolyte in a gel cell is exactly that, a gel and that prevents the formation of stuff at the bottom of the cell taht shorts out regular batteries. The Glass mat battery now used exclusively by the armed forces (so I am told) is made of glass cloth wrapped aroun the post and then joined at the top. Both are extremely tough and can sit disacharged for a long time witout damage, I have used both with great success. Had gel cells for 12 years in my boat (8 of them) with no battery problems. Changed to glass mat after that and no problems. Some gel cells need a specific charge voltage to (13.9) last a long time but glass mat are not that picky. Henry
