Regarding your post, philippeV: I do not have a battery tester. My 5 pieces of EXIDE GEL batteries seemed to completely die within 2 hours, last autumn. At an age of 6 + 1/2 years.

Hi Matteo 45, yes I do have more photos. I will upload them to a new thread tonight, which I will start here. Then people can find it if interested.

Dear Matteo, In answer to your question to 47 owners, we have created a larger sprayhood for the cockpit on Sarabande. The job involved fabricating a coving to receive the hoops for the hood, replacing the main track and introducing drains to the mid deck area. I wanted to create a drier cockpit!

May I suggest that such different (and interesting) subjects be addressed in different posts. My best guess is that, in the future, nobody will ever be able to find information on cockpit protection in a battery management post!

Probably a bit late in responding to your post, but I fitted an Adverc battery management system and 3 x 105 AGM Deep cycle batteries in 2012. The batteries are still behaving very well. I fitted a Link 10 battery monitor when I bought the boat in 2004 which gives volts, amps and ampere hours consumed and it is magic! The Adverc battery management and regulator enables me to charge to batteries considerably faster than before. The Adverc system electronically fools the alternators into thinking that they need to output more current. I have two alternators, a pessimist!

Many thanks to all of you for your thoughts and recommendations. I learnt a lot, presently I am looking at the Votronic and at the Mastervolt systems. The Mastervolt probably has higher level software, but the advantage of the Votronic clearly is that it fits into the switch panel nicely, and also it looks good. IHe confirmed it is working OK, so that might become my choice.

... See my post above - is maybe this the aspect which should get me to buy Exide GEL batteries again? The cooking sulphuric acid below the floorboards I remember as quite a frightening experience ... |
