Needing 3 new 'Domestics' for my Tub I went to my local battery/tyre shop and gave him the dimensions etc. of the old ones.
Naturally they weren't the sort of thing he normally stocks so he ordered them up for me. So! I now have 3 X 110 amphour
deep discharge no maintenance (sealed for life batteries) at a cost of £40 quid each. Is this a good price? I feel it is.

Well tell me before you come mate. I will need dimensions too. Ht., width, length etc. Yours may be even cheaper, mine remember are no maintenance ones, sealed for life.

Na! I can get'em cheaper than that, but then I cheating cos they're at trade and not retail!/forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Yeah! I know its running rough, but your lucky it running at all!!
 
What how much ? I had to get 4 x 6v 195ah deep cycle for mine and they were about £125 each
maybe being 6v made a different

Sounds about right.

If you want them "off the shelf" like NOW! try your local camping and caravan place, most have a decend selection on their shelves at about £23 for 80A/h and £42 for 110A/h.

Hmmmm! Well Clive when I needed exactly the same as you (for my previous boat as you know an Ocean 37) I got them from the same source at £33 each. This was about 8 years ago but even allowing for inflation that's still a sight cheaper than £125 each.

paid £60 cash for 850 amp battery direct from Pavilion batteries Brighton.
 
bloody hell.....must be heavy enough to sink the boat............./forums/images/icons/shocked.gif
You either got an amazing product extremely cheap or (I suspect) you paid over the odds for a pretty mundane kitchen sink sort of powerpack......................

I was told some time ago that the best priced domestic battery is 100A/H 12V.
This apparently is the biggest market and therefore the cheapest in terms of £'s per A/H
