Freedom 36 battery location and number?
Freedom 36 battery location and number?
I've started to look at "next boats" and was wondering where the battery locker is located on a Freedom 36? How many batteries of what size will fit. Thanks in advance..

It's underneath the chart table. I have three group 31 batteries under there, after extending the shelf about an inch.

Mine are located under the galley sink. I moved them to accomodate 4 six volt golf cart batteries and to be nearer to the relocated electrical panel which is now on the side of the galley cabinetry. The space under chart table is now for the the inverter and the hot water heater is now under the settee forward of galley. The engine starting battery is aft of the engine compartment in the sail locker.

Thanks for the info. I like the idea of making a 3 battery house bank and adding one for the engine in the back.RadioZephyr wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 11:20 amIt's underneath the chart table. I have three group 31 batteries under there, after extending the shelf about an inch.

Hi,
Glad that previous owner installed new bank under settee in front of sink. No idea how he ran the cables. 4 six volt batteries. Starting battery is under chart table.
Have designs on solar panels and an inverter down the road.
