If you have any questions about installing your narrowboat batteries, then please leave us a comment as my Dad would love to answer them and help other boaters out ? We purchased our leisure batteries from Photonic Universe and were not disappointed, with fast delivery and excellent customer service ? They even took the time to meet with my Dad and answer his questions! We aren't affiliated with the company and this is not a paid promotion but we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase similar batteries. They also offer a range of solar panels and accessories - from folding panels and solar laptop and phone chargers to complete solar kits and a choice of rigid or semi-flexible solar panels. We're passionate about reducing our emissions and making our lifestyle as sustainable as possible so solar will be a big part of this and we will be doing some vlogs around solar installation in the future. ?
