so took you six years to try and start the engine peter, not surprised reallyI put a set of six leisure batteries on my boat about seven years ago and only changed them six months ago, you must have been buying crap batteries.
pair of 2 x 12v to give me 24v for each engine and 2 for leisure, lights, fridge etc
Ours last !

Thanks John & Shell and Icantremember for the links, but you don't say which actual batteries you bought & I can't see "traction" batterys listed anywhere on either site?
By the way Icantremember I do remember meeting you @ Oradour.

I have just clicked the link and it went straight there!
'Traction' is a generic term, just as 'industrial' or 'deep discharge' is.
The Dyno range is an industrial traction-type made in the States and they are very good value compared with Trojan.
We did 4 days without recharging in VT last year on our 3 battery, 345Ah bank, 'nuff said!:thumb:

If you want proper 'traction' batteries you need something like these Link Removed
two of these wired in parallel will give you 225ah capacity, about the same as you have now, but are designed to be just about flattened before recharging.
they are much more robust with far heavier/thicker plates and stand more abuse than regular lead/acid leisure batteries (
Any idea about the weight of them?
