HI All Thanks or all your input over the past couple of days very much appreciated. Resolution was to swap out again existing batteries and fit 2 more brand new ones these were precharged on a seperate battery charger to 13.8 volts. Restore the battery bank to 2 x 12 volt 110 amp hr batteries...

I have now removed the third battery and have 2 batteries connected in series to give me the 24 volt engine start and domestics requiring 24 volt I also have a 24 to 12 volt dropper to supply the 12 volt electrics fitted, I now have a potential 220amp hour bank, both batteries have been removed...

the starboard battery bank of 3 x 110amp batteries are only lasting 4/5 hrs before voltage drops below 18 volts. These are all new and have been swapped out with a proven set of batteries with the same result. I have had a DC clamp meter on the system and with everything on, that would be on at...

Hi Paul Welcome to the forum, now you have poked your head over the wall you will unfortunately get shot at I am a regular to Ilfracombe and usually thoroughly enjoy our shop and drop stays, as well as the occasional overnight. The price is very reasonable especially if lucky enough to pick up...

Use the 1 1/2 as that will allow you to tighten the anode up properly and thus stop it slipping.

Well so far the event has been a real success, the wine and nibbles are going very nicely as well
