If it helps, this is one hell of a battery and I think everyone considering new deep-cycle batteries for their boat should know about it and consider it.

I first tested their 100 amp-hour batteries and thought they were the best blend of value, features, and quality I have encountered. In fact, there were only two areas I thought Epoch could improve upon. First, higher density, and second, external communications. Epoch seems to have addressed both those issues and more.
