500 quid for a 100Ah renogy one that imho is equiv to X3 120Ah leads, given the labels are usually very inaccurate combined with how quickly they deteriorate and 50% DoD vs 20% and about 170 for the charger.
100 ah will give you 80 so not to push it , some say lithium will give you 90% but personally I wouldn't want to push them that far .500 quid for a 100Ah renogy one that imho is equiv to X3 120Ah leads, given the labels are usually very inaccurate combined with how quickly they deteriorate and 50% DoD vs 20% and about 170 for the charger.
Hi Graham, by random chance we're on our Nauticat 42 in Alghero for the winter, we should meet up.
For batteries I would order lithium batteries from Germany via Renogy. You'll never need to change them again and you'll have a bit more space in your engine bay.
HELLOTalk lithium and automatically people think £££££££ ,
But they don't have to be if you handy type of guy.
Some here on ybw have build bank for hundreds rather then thousands of pounds,
Depending what your looking for and now you can buy dropping batteries at similar cost to good agm ,
There is a chance with unmarked lithium drop ins , that is you don't know what's in side the case or what bms .
I think the question you need to ask yourself is , will I still have the boat when next I have to replace then , if so lithium will save you money , as well as will get much more power and their lightly .
Baterias de ciclo profundo archivos - Baterias webhad same issue in portugal ended up buying online with delivery from uk for half thr price, try tanya batteries uk maybe
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.
