#45 Replacing the batteries and alternator on our narrowboat

We have no idea how old the batteries are on our narrowboat and since we've had it since 2019 their life may be quite short, so in preparation for our marina move 'up north' we replace these and also sort an alternator problem!

Lithium the way, leave one lead acid & add two lithium 😊 jobs a gud one for at least 10yrs 😊

Nice. Which alternator did you use?

[@robtheplod]

Just a box standard one from a supplier who's name escapes me.. .70amp?

[@petersimms4982]

One 100amp lithium is like 2 100amp lead! Sooooo lite weight tooooo. 😉👍

Such a clean and neat job. Engine spray next. 😉😉

Hi Will, nice to hear from you.. nah, too many oil leaks currently... maybe in the future, now i just wanna cruise!! moving to just outside Chester this week can't wait!!!!

Another nice install. Changing to lithium batteries in the camper trailer has been great and given us a lot more usable power. That has lead us to changing the AGMs we had powering our home to lithium as well. Yes they cost more but it is 100% worth the cost. 👍 🤓
