I often get asked “what type of battery should I be using on my boat”. The answer, as always, is “It depends”. In this video I look at the most common types of batteries and why you may want to have one over the others. Specifically I discuss Flooded Lead/Acid, AGM and Lithium batteries and the Pros and Cons of each along with other related topics.

I’m thirsty after all that talking, buy me a beer?…. https://www.paypal.me/RefitAndSail

If I end up with more beer tokens than I need then I will put your donations towards a better camera, better mic’s and lighting so it ultimately benefits you the viewer. I don’t do Patreon, I don’t sell T shirts but you can help support this growing channel. Thank you

About Me
I run a small business called The Solent Boat Butler Ltd and spend my days repairing, maintaining and refitting sailing boats (often Contessa 32’s due to my long experience with them). I'm mostly in the central Solent area of the UK. Being a cruising and racing sailor with many thousands of inshore and offshore sea miles logged I like to think that I bring a great deal of realworld experience to my work and help many new (and not so new) boat owners to improve and maintain their boats. When I'm not fixing boats I also provide some ownboat sail training, help owners with deliveries, provide prepurchase inspections and deliver consultancy services to those that are refitting their own boats for cruising or racing.

If you are in any way unsure as to how to go about a project or are unsure if something on your boat is safe please consult a professional.
