Hi there,
Me-thinks our 'new to us' boat has some battery weirdnesses going on...
On a previous surveyors report it states the boat had a starting battery and 4 house batteries. The PO passed away about 5 years ago, and the person taking care of the boat put new batteries in last year.
I'm new to all this, but what I believe we have now is a large starting battery and 2 smaller starting batteries for the house batteries. Can you confirm this for me?
Photo #1 is a NAPA No. 4D-9, 6 cell, with 1050 CCA and 1280 CA.
Photo #2 is one of the two (where there is space for 4) and is a NO. 24M-5, with 550 CCA, and 650 CA.
Did the person taking care of the boat after the PO passed away inadvertently put two small starting batteries in where there used to be 4 house batteries?
