Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] House Battery Replacement

Home Messages Hashtags Subgroups

Barry Connor #27799 Hi Jamie, I just had a similar decision to make. I was advised by Olivier to stay with the factory original and just put the lead acid batteries in. (He said if one goes bad you can replace it anywhere in the World that you might be sailing.) I did that and am prepared to change them in about 3 years. Total price for 13 x 105 amp was about 800 Pounds Sterling. US$1,200. Shortly after buying May 3015 I nearly had the old ones explode.

I was thinking of possibly getting the Firefly Carbon AGM batteries instead of standard Lifeline AGMs. I have read Nigel Calder's reports and all seems positive. Has anyone used them or heard anything good or bad? Thanks, Jamie s/v Phantom Amel 54 #044
