Yes and yes!

If the battery's discharging that quickly I suspect it's beyond saving.

No prob linking two batteries in parallel (i.e. positive to positive, negative to negative) if you really need the extra capacity. Just bear in mind the extra weight.

Sounds like the battery is shot and needs chucking.

Would there be room in the battery locker for two batteries? Why do you need the extra power? They do weigh a lot. How about using a solar charger to keep the one topped up when you are camping without EHU?

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

I bought one last week locally, I up graded from a 75ah to a 110 ah it is an inch larger all around from my old but fits in ok, £64 but they knocked me a fiver off as I did them a favour  so £59 I thought that was a bargain
