Here I am moored in Port Torres, Sardinia. (nice 'real' town and cheap!) But my domestic batteries are completely and totally fooked.
Easy enough to get in the UK, 125AH £60 + £10 delivery etc, and cheaper on e-bay, Costco etc but usually only 100AH
But the local motor factors (usually the cheapest place to get anything - generator belt £1.50 vs Yanmar £16) say they can only order them at £250 a pop.
Any ideas for getting two reasonably priced batteries delivered there at a reasonable rate?
Would it be better if I nipped over to Corsica?
I'm soon returning to Spain, but I dont fancy the long trip with having to run the engine every few hours.
