Get the most charge for your money

It is easy to improve an old electrical system. Do the work in stages and get good results with a few simple changes. Often the old electrical system is at its worst around the generator, so make sure you start there.

1. Replace the negative cable that runs between the generator and the battery bank. Dimension it correctly as it is usually undersized and of poor quality on the connections. It is an investment of a few hundred dollars that often makes a big difference.

2. Expand the battery bank with an extra marine battery. It does not have to cost more than SEK 800 – 900 and increases the charging capacity significantly.

3. If you have a separator diode, replace it with a separator relay. Read more about why here.
