New house batteries for s/v Elegant'sea. Our old house batteries lasted about five years. They are not holding a charge as well now. They do run down quicker at anchor not leaving us many ah in the over 70% range at night.

We can't repurchase the LTH golf car batteries we got in Barra. LTH stopped making them. We actually got them while anchored in the Barra lagoon. In Barra de Navidad there is not a lot of business so we went to Melaque which is more of a working town to purchase the batteries. That is on the mainland by Manzanillo and I think things coat less there. This time we are in La Paz BCS (Baja) and we find things more expensive but more available. Anyway our new batteries are about the same specs and now cost twice as much! We purchased these at Agencia Arjona and Alfonso helped us with the purchase and the heavy lifting.
We purchased new battery boxes and I cut off the handles so they would fit in our space better. All done now with some finishing up work we will do today or soon. The new batteries seem to be working great.
Old batteries.
