Second hab battery.

Greetings all. Any one fitted a second hab battery to their Warwick or Sussex Duo? Not sure if it is doable because of space, so any suggestions.
Thanks Tengah 74.

Hi there,

My first thought is "Why bother?"

We have a standard Bosch 65Ah lead-acid battery which with a winter usage of:

o  2 hours of heating per day.

o  4 hours of lights per day.

o  3 hours of TV per day.

we get at least three days before needing to re-charge.

The only changes we have made is to convert the lighting to LED's.

Hope this helps. 

Best regards,

Thanks. The reason I asked was that we are wild camping in France, and although we did the occasional hour drive, to dump of rubbish etc, the battery was really low after 7 days.

SEVEN DAYS????  It's a "battery" not a "power station"!!  

With regard to "the battery was really low" you should NEVER let a lead-acid battery drop below about 10.5 volts; otherwise you will almost certainly damage the internal plates and totally ruin the battery. 

Hope this helps.
