[Electric Boats] Re: Bermuda 30 conversion

 

Keith,

Can you give some examples or dimensions of the batteries that you are suggesting? All of the 220Ah AGM batteries that I am familiar with are still about 3/4 of a cubic foot, regardless of the shape. Finding a rectangular space that size can be a challenge. Additionally, an 8kWh battery bank with only 5.5kWh usable is fairly small for a 30' sailboat.

Thanks,
Eric
