Texet Batteries

[mica]

Does anyone know who supplies Texet Batteries? I shall shortly be needing to replace the ones we currently have on board, purchased in Greece. The problem we have with using a different brand is the height of the battery compartment, the current ones being 210mm height are the maximum we can accommodate. other brands seem to be much taller for 180 and 90 ah. sizes.

Also, does anyone have any comments on the merits of liquid electrolyte type versus maintenance free gel types.
Heavy usage has to be endured, being a charter boat.

Thanks, mica
