Well I am pleased to announce that they are still in fine
shape and are coping admirably with our power demands. Capacity has yet to drop
noticeably despite two years of weekly weekend use and holiday use.
The previous one domestic battery completely gave up the
will to live in a little under two years so it seems that the upgrade to two
batteries has been well worth it. At the same time as we changed the batteries
we also made a few power saving modifications which also seem to be helping the
situation.
It had been our initial intention to swap the batteries
after three years however we will review this decision later in the year nearer
the time that they are three years old. If they are still performing adequately
then we may delay the switch. We are however firm believers in changing our
batteries at the first signs of unreliability. Some people choose to limp along
with dead and dying batteries but to us that seems to be a false economy. Why
waste fuel running the engine to charge the batteries for longer each day?
So watch this space later in the year to see how we get on.
