I've had both on the various boats that I have had. My last boat before the M-17 was a Hunter 31. Both batteries, wet cell, were located in the aft main berth. I have had them charging while I was sleeping being tied up at the dock with no ill affects. He may be thinking about when you put a battery on a charger and take off the caps as in the method to charge a car battery and the sulfur fumes that come out as being caustic. On my current M-17 #652, I have a single gell cell. I had Bob put a gel cell in because I had done some reasearch and am convinced that the gell cell is more of a maintenance free battery than the wet cell. Michael M-17 #652, Pepperjack
