b6x Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Maybe a dumb question, but... Is it possible to "straight swap" a 85Ah leisure battery for a 110Ah without affecting any 12V electrical appliances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Yes it is, assuming you have the physical space to place the battery in position. The AH rating reffers to the battery's capacity to provide power not to the voltage. Anything connected will only take what it needs irrespective of the stored capacity. Roughly think water storage, a larger capacity tank on the same level will give you a longer supply but won't affect the water coming out the tap.

b6x Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Basil - 2007-05-09 4:52 PM Yes it is, assuming you have the physical space to place the battery in position. Bas "yes it is", as in "yes it is a dumb question" ? (^) Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. Does beg the question why converters are so tight by putting in a 85Ah and saving themselves a tenner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hi b6x, No no I was not saying the question was dumb, sorry if I gave that impression! I don't think any question is 'dumb' if someone doesn't know then they don't know, I hate to see 'superior' answerers myself, no one knows everything.
