The batteries were backups batteries so will have to ask that question? He also gets out of date batteries which are new . At the moment, not listed yet Fiamm 12FLB 450p year of manufacture 2017 4 batteries £445 delivered. Seems like a good buy to me. Would they be a better buy. And with being stood for possibly 15 months max still ok? And suitable for the boat. Thanks

This looks as it could be of interest to some of you guys. Not a lot of detail in the add. http://narrowboats.apolloduck.co.uk/boat.phtml?id=554195

Don’t know. Did her boat sink

You’ll afte ask Alisha not me

Has it got a hole in it, you need a bilge pump lol

Mines fixed to a piece of lead flashing ad sits nice and flat.

Diesel

While I agree about the raw material cost of lithium (supply and demand) competition will have an overhaul effect on the final cost of the batteries

That is with the original cost of 2 x 100 amp batteries £1400 divide by 4000 cycles = 35pence. No need to worry about recharge/ look after worrying if they are fully charged. Or pay £380 for 4 x 100 amp lead acid batteries ,fart about watching them all the time .then replace every 2 to 3 years . Life is to short for all that. Like all new technology how long do we wait till it gets cheaper. My first mobile phone was silly money compared with today’s phones but wouldn’t have waited till the price came down

Shush don’t tell them Trojan’s they were having a sleep

Working on 4000 cycles of the batteries they should cost about 36pence a day plus the cost to recharge (time and diesel) looks good to me

Not a live aboard ,but just weighing up best battery set up. Nice tug , don’t want solar to spoil the look. Old thumper engine don’t want to run forever charging lead acid batteries or a noisy generator.

Have you got a link to a cheaper supplier please Nick

So as a safe guard a battery to battery charger will do the job then

Thought you were a monster!! Go on upset them lovely Trojan’s

Go on then nick contact them and ask the question. We know how you like a challenge. LOL

Battery to battery. They come with a 240 volt charger
