I need to replace my 4 batteries on board as they are all dead!
Here is a quick synopsis of my needs:
*29 foot Thompson with twin Mercs
*I am on a mooring
*Use approx 60 amp hours on a typical day trip
*Use approx 100 amp hours on a late evening trip
*Overnight trips will be at a slip with shore power and my house battery charger maintaining the batteries
*I run GPS/Chartplotter, Radar, refrigerator,water pump, radio, then your typical bilge pumps and blower as needed plus nav/interior lights after sun down.
1. Do I really need 4 batteries?
2. What size batteries should I have?
2. What brand names do you recommend?
Thanks guys!
