Replaced our 6v Trojans only this year so sticking with that, which will see us good for another five years or more. Lithium nice idea but it requires replacing the entire charging system (shore power, engine etc). Including the cost of importing the batteries and setting up a new system we're talking thousands here. We'll be adding more solar next year though, so power consumption will be less of a deal but you'll find most liveaboards are always counting the amps because we run so many other items on board (laptops, chargers etc etc). Changing the battery system is nice in principle but we have to work with what we have right now.</blockquote>
