Currently I have 10 Crown CR-225 6volt for the house batteries.
The mains have a total of 4 8D’s that are separate from all systems.
The bow truster and windless have their own set of 2-12v AGM’s.
The gen set has one 12v starter battery on its own system.
15k gen set
Old appliances,
Newer 4000 magnum? Inverter.
We like to stay out on the hook 75-80% of the time.
This averages about 3 nights in a row, 10-15 times a year. The rest of the time we have shore power
The 6v house batteries need to be replaced.
What would you replace them with and why?
We plan on keeping the boat for 5+ years.
But don’t want to reinvent the wheel.
My gut says replace with a sim size maintenance free.
My Cousins say to use
Ampere Time 12V 300Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery, Built-in 200A BMS, 4000+ Cycles, 400amp Max, Perfect for RV, Solar, Marine, Overland, Off-Grid, etc.
But I think they are something like 3 Times the cost for twice the lifetime?
I don’t know much of anything about this stuff.
Thanks for the help.
