Batteries

When we bought our boat in August it had 2 gel cell batteries. Is this standard or did the PO replace the acid batteries with gels?

Here's a discussion of different battery types: http://www.c34.org/wiki/index.php?title=C34_Battery_Selection

The West Marine catalogs AND their online West Marine Advisors have good discussions also.
