Changing battery's (1 Viewer)

[cookie]

Hi.

On an autotrail miami 2007 would it be OK to change the 2 x 85ah battery's to 2 x 110 ah battery's . There is space to do this.

The battery's are wired seperated to the control panel and there is a 100w solar panel

I would say yes.

Just be careful that you are getting the Amp Hours that you are paying for. Some manufacturers fudge the AH that their batteries supply, have a look at http://www.aandncaravanservices.co.uk/battery-technology.php lots of useful information

Yes, as long as you have space no problem. Charger will be fine.
I have AT and 2 x 110 amps..

NOTE... Remember solar may still be live and charging even with control panel off.. So best idea is cover over the solar while you are doing it or remove any fuse between the panel and regualtor / sargent unit.

Or you could go straight to Alan from Direct Motorhome Services ( http://www.directmotorhomeservices.co.uk )
He stocks Banner, is a Funster so you get a discount, and you will know what you are getting is what you thought you were buying

Probably stating the bleeding obvious here but are you changing like for like with the battery technology? ie Lead Acid for Lead Acid, Sealed Lead Acid for Sealed Lead Acid, AGM for AGM and so on?

If not, it'll be worth double checking that your charging system is able to cope with the change. I recently swapped the factory-fitted 95 Ah Lead Acid for a 140 Ah Sealed Lead Acid and I was OK, but everything I read online suggested I couldn't have gone to AGM due to its different charging needs, so I didn't. The option wasn't there on the charger.
