[Electric Boats] Re: LiFePO4 battery experience?

Hi Eric

I believe Chris, who owns the "Current Sunshine" installed a 9,6 kW ThunderSky pack on his trimaran. You might find information about it on his Blog currentsunshine.com or by searching the forum.

I'm on the verge of ordering a set of batteries for my 30' Ketch conversion and believe that the weight and size of the Thunder Sky batteries compared to AGM alternatives is worth the extra cost. I'd really like to hear from someone with firsthand experience with this technology in our specific type of application.
