Victron Battery Replacement and Phoenix Inverter Installation on a Sailboat with 24v Marine System

The 12v 90ah batteries under the pilot berth needed changing, so we took the opportunity to upgrade them to 110ah AGM Victron batteries. As we'd recently added Panasonic Solar Panels to our system, we also decided to instal a Victron Phoenix 3000VA Inverter and add more DC 230v outlets.

This meant we could take advantage of our extra stored power and last longer without using the generator or needing to plug into shore power.. which means more time on anchor and less using less diesel.. as long as the sun always shone obviously!

However, what looks good on paper always rubs up against the harsh reality of boat design.. like difficult to access cable runs. But luckily we found some battery cables running to an old inverter in the engine bay.. which saved us hours of extra work!
