I would think it totally depends on usage over evening / night how much needs to be charged next day, no?

Hi Hackenbush. I have a pair of 110ah leisure batteries. I understand that that is seruiosly minimal even for my minimal 12v lights, telly and only running fridge with the engine. And no, if you will be buying a new bank of batteries best they are same.
-
They must eventually reach the end of their lives. Otherwise where are all the old steel boats??
-
Wow! That's some speaker
-
Couple of gallons on Radweld you think? Just need a local Halfords...
-
Very pleased to hear it's worked out for you. Happy boating!
-
Lol. They should post on here to get some advice. I'm sure the experts would have it sorted soon enuff!
-
Thanks. I have read this.
-
So true. I've been driving diesels for years thinking it's a better choice than petrol. Gone hybrid now. And NO not a Prius.Possible.
Funny thing the diesel car one; twenty five years ago they were our saviour, now our killer.
EDIT. P.S. The electric narrow boat thing is getting my interest.
-
This is all good stuff though. The batts that came with my boat are pretty much fecked, but now I do know how to look after the new ones going on in the spring.
-
Thanks, I'll pin that on the wall!
I did!, but as the experts said, only valid if the battery has been left for a while without charge or draw.

This really needs to be pinned and added to the FAQ. I learned something!
-
That's impressive though. I only get 14v with the motor running....
Edit. Cross post with MtB. Sounds like I've a normal reading

By Grabthar's hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged!!

Found it
-
As a father of 5 boys I agree. And we did teach them how to swim. Sure you are old and wise now, but 13 year olds aren't!
-
Much the same. Daft really but there's a community thing going on here, which is a good thing.
-
Ok cool
-
Yep. Something to watch out for with all 12v devices when you're charging. I know my Cello 12v telly can handle it, thankfully!
-
Bump! Not that late and someone local might yet read this thread.
-
It's a shame there's no one local seen this. I'm in Buckinghamshire
-
No signs to warn that jumping into the canal is a bad idea for a non-swimmer? Tragic that a 13 year old boy has died, but this wasn't even a lock. There should be warning signs every 10m down the towpath?

Thanks Tony. Your advice is very welcome. The PO kept EVERYTHING so I have the BMC repair operation manual and Hurth gearbox installation, operations, maintenance booklet.
Multimeter reading of 17v

Yes. I'd understood my 2x110ah was entry level.
