For the new boat (GB49 trawler), I plan a house bank made up of
individual 2 volt cells bolted together. It will weigh close to 1,000
lbs but that's not really an issue on a boat that weighs 60,000 fully
loaded. Total capacity will be over 1,000 A-H with usable capacity
greater than 350. Those 2 volt cells are guaranteed for 10 years so
they may turn out to be the last battery I ever buy. Recharge will be
via a high power inverter/charger, 20KW generator, and/or high
capacity alternators.



I like this guy!.....(c;

I've mentioned it before, but have you seen these guys in Colorado that
make all their own power?
