Our new battery.
OK, time for a new Beta 38 hp diesel engine starting battery. The one we have is a bit over seven years old and they are supposed to last seven to eight years. We think it is not cranking the engine over fast enough for it to start quickly. It starts but after several cranks.

Our old battery.
We looked arrond but only found one a bit less powerful and one a bit more so guess what, we went for more. e. It took some battery box modification because the new one is a bit longer and shorter. All set now.
