Hey All,<br /><br />I was just curious about the differences between thease batteries.<br /><br />I know the Optima Batteries are still Lead Acid batteries, but atleast according to the manufacturer they work better than a standard Lead Acid battery.<br /><br />Right now I have 3 betteries, on my boat, which is obviously alot of weight. I was just curious if either the Optima or Gel batteries are lighter than the 'standard' lead acid battery's? <br /><br />What's the deal with the Gel Cell's? Better, Worse? Lighter, Heavier? Bigger, smaller? I don't know too much about em..<br /><br />Thanks for the help,<br /><br />-TheChad
