Seems to me that there isn't enough improved performance characteristics compared to a Lifeline to merit a complete reorganization of the battery compartment. The difference in price is about $150 for the lot. Then you have to redo the cables and probably have to buy some new ones for the proper length and fitment.

You know you can buy a good Decca battery (maybe not quite as good as a Lifeline but less expensive too) that fits easily where the Lifelines were.
We haven't even considered the time and labor involved in making the switch.

I've looked at my battery compartment and the difficulty in getting those odd sized batteries to fit and I just think that would be more trouble than worthwhile.

Chuck you will not be able to fit these batteries into the Marathon . The house batteries in the Marathon are angle mounted I had an XL2 before. You need two man and a boy to take them out I tried once but not again.
