It will be 9 batteries for a 108V system.

That was really my original voltage goal. Partly because I had a battery charger with a maximum 108V output.

I have heard that these Die Hard batteries are a rebadged "other brand", but haven't had any way to confirm it. I wouldn't think that the 3-year warranty could only apply to engine starting applications because these are deep-cycle marine batteries. The are specifically designed for use running trolling motors and other NON-engine starting uses.
