I have acquired a new 110ah leisure battery for the boat it is a 110ah deep cycle lead acid type like the existing one - it is a different make, so may be of slightly different ah and voltage - but I am willing to take a risk to save a few quid as usual - the existing battery is almost a year old so will not be in peak condition anyway!
I just need to correctly install in parallel to give me double capacity at the same voltage.
With a battery bank of only 2 batteries it is probably not essential to take the main feed + and - off seperate batteries, but, I might do anyway to ensure consistent charging.
I have a sterling alternator regulator fitted, so the alternator is given a bit of a workout every time the engine is run - the fitter at Stenson suggests that this will ultimately shorten the life of my alternator.
The starter battery is on a seperate circuit and isolated in a battery box and was replace when I bought the boat last May.
