Joe: My sailing season lasts approx. 5 1/2 months, May to say mid October....batteries are used approx. +100 days per season to run everything on the boat that requires DC...first 8 years, boat was on a mooring with no shore power...last 5 seasons with the boat at a slip, plugged into shore power with engine room battery charger. I alternate the use of the two batteries each use. Usually take each battery down to no lower than 40% - 50% before recharging with the alternator when on the mooring and now the alternator and charger at the slip with AC. Batteries have never been off the boat since installed in April 2009. That's the long and unspecific answer....I actually haven't ever measured the daily/weekly amps out but I have killed both batteries (on separate occasions) and recharged them. But it's time for new ones and I know it.

What is your typical cycling load like for a typical week out?
