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.

That is pretty astounding battery life, I am not sure I can get a
battery to last that long in a car.
What is your typical cycling load like for a typical week out?
