Ecobat Battery supports Forces Veterans Afloat charity

Ecobat Battery is providing support to the Forces Veterans Afloat (FVA) charity by supplying batteries for its vessels. The charity, which assists homeless ex-service personnel, relies on batteries for both starting outboard engines and providing habitation power.

FVA, established in December 2024, originated from a 2021 Facebook post proposing the restoration of boats for homeless veterans. The initiative quickly garnered support, leading to the charity acquiring nine vessels.

Ecobat Battery’s contribution includes a Numax XV31MF starting battery and three Lucas LSLC125-12 habitation batteries for FVA’s latest vessel, Susie Splash. This 26ft Creighton cabin cruiser, launched in 1969 and powered by a 15hp Honda engine, was donated to the charity.

Susie Splash is currently moored at Sawley, awaiting inspection before being made available as accommodation for a homeless veteran.

Ecobat Battery’s Mark Allsopp stated that the company is pleased to support the charity, providing essential power for veterans to rebuild their lives.
