New Battery Bank 32-200

[Peter K]

I recently put in 2 new trojan group 27s AGMs in my 1988 32-200 in the original location for batteries, under the aft cabin cushion. They are separate banks and use the 1, 2, All switch.

I need to add more amp hours and would like to go with 4 more trojan group 27s and connect them in parallel to one of the 2 existing batteries to form a large primary bank with 5 batteries and roughly 500 amp hours.

My problem is where to put 4 additional group 27s. Any 32-200 owners out there with suggestions?

I recently upgraded the batteries aboard Cinderella. An option to avoid the issue all together is to invest in a different type of battery. Our house bank consists of two oasis firefly batteries. The batteries allow for up to 80% discharge without forfeiting battery life.

They cost a little more than an AGM, but they have the charge cycling of lithium batteries.

A couple of those and you could essentially double your capacity without haveing anymore footprint.
