Jan and I
Jan and I changed out our house batteries today. What a job! Removed and
carried ashore in the dinghy our four 6-volt Trojan L-16 units and replaced
them with six 2-volt L-16 units. Each unit weighed about 130 pounds.
Norm,
I'd be interested in learning something about the details

I definitely feel your pain, Norm! If you remember, on Hydro-Therapy I
changed out a pair of G-31's for a pair of L-17's for the house bank.

Norm, correct me if I'm wrong here but Eric, I seem to recall those L-17s
were about 370 aHrs each. So I went from an approximate 200 aHr house bank
to a 370 aHr house bank. As I mentioned in an earlier response to Norm,
they've got essentially the identical footprint as a standard G-27 or
Careful there Wayne, a mortal does not question the oracle.

OK.
I looked up L-16 2 volt and found these:
Trojan L16RE-2V 1,110 Amp-Hour 2 Volt Deep Cycle Battery.
So I guess Norm has 1110 Amp Hours for a house bank.
