I currently have two batteries wired in parallel. So, in essence, it
is a single bank. I haven't sized the batteries for our power
requirements yet (a winter project). However, I intend to split off
the starting bank from the house bank. My intention is to keep the
two deep cycles for the house bank and purchase a separate starting
bank.
The two batteries were in the bilge (one on top of the gas tank). I'd
like to move the two house bank batteries and the (soon to be
purchased) starting bank. Any suggestions on where to put them and
how to mount them safely and per code? OR, does anyone have ideas on
how to secure them in the bilge? I'm just not comfortable with them
unsecured in the bilge and on top of the fuel tank. I'm a little
concerned about moving the weight out of the centerline...Maybe
there's a way to leave one bank in the bilge and put the other
elsewhere?
While we're on the subject, I'm also considering moving the fuel tank
(currently located in the bilge). Are there any suggestions on
alternate locations? Would one suggest I replace the tank while I'm
at it? Has anyone gone with a smaller tank in a different location?
If anyone has photos they can send or post showing their battery and
fuel tank locations, that would also be great.
Thanks.
