16 volt agm race car battery

have 32 volt system in a 54 Bertram right now have 4 lead acid 8 volt batteries for power
do you think the 16 volts wired in series will be enough for starting and house
I know the agms have higher amperage
and I know I will have to get a 32volt agm charger
what do you think
thanks

here is a link to the batteries. can buy these batteries for half the cost of the 8 volts just not sure if they will hold up

my thoughts exactly and no maintenance my only worry is if they have enough muscle
the 16 volt battery has 60 ah with 1250 cranking amps
the 8 volt are 195 ah with 980 cranking amps my 32 volt system only gets used in short burst to crank the motors and run the galley maids
so I hope this might be an option for us in the future
what does every one else think
and did I mention half the cost of 8 volts
thanks

yes that is the top of the line in xs brand but there is another brand witch I quoted the specs from that goes for around $175.00
for the cost of the 8 volts I could buy them and agm charger together

do you mean two banks of two 16 volts in series with a parallel switch at helm
the other brand is kinetic hc16v whats cool about that battery is it has a third post for 12 volt tap but you cant use it if you wire the batt in series
my charger is chareles old style don't think it has a adjustmet

I see what you are saying to get more cranking amps but my 4 -8 volts only give me 980 cranking amps which turns my motor fine and the two 16 volts give me 1100 so you think 16 volts don't have enough punch overall to the job

is this what you are thinking about
Wiring in Series and Parallel:
Batteries can be wired both in series and parallel, this increases both the amperage and voltage available. In this example here two "Strings" of batteries are wired up in Series to essentially make two 12V Banks, these are then wired together in series (doubling the 150Ah) to eventually provide 12 Volts at 300Ah.

Recommended battery interconnect cables for this configuration are shown below. The gauge and cable length is determined by your needs. This is only a suggestion:

(2) 12" Red Battery Interconnect Cable (from Pos terminals of battery banks)
(2) 12" Black Battery Interconnect Cable (from Neg terminals of battery banks)
(2) 6" Red Battery Interconnect Cable (between Neg & Pos terminals of batteries)

yes I see what you are saying seems like the only alternative would be 4 16 volts wired in parallel and then in series doubling the amp hours to 120 and cranking amps to 2200
yes I give up some amp hours but but the reward of getting double the life span (maybe) might be a thing to consider
