Battery

I have a 2017 sunseeker which I am trying to hook up solar panels to. Can someone tell me which type of battery I have ? A wet or calcium battery? I cannot find it in the manual anywhere.

Ok I looked at the battery. I still don't know what type it is. I'm not an expert on batteries I'm sorry.

From the label on top, you have a 27MDP lead acid battery: group 27 marine dual purpose....see example below..

Thank you. I would think the manual would say but I find the manual to be totally useless.

The battery is a dealer install item. Factory manuals would not cover it. I'm amazed they gave you a Group 27 instead of a Group 24 - most dealers cheap out unless you specify what you want at time of purchase.
