[Electric Boats] Re: Battery and charger upgrades

 

Hi Maureen,

Thanks. I chose https://www.victronenergy.com/batteries

Note that I blog for them (about 1/2 a day a week) but when I planned my conversion in 2011 and completed it in 2012 I had simply chosen them because they have all the systems other than motors available. I like their product range and tech info. Oceanvolt are a Victron partner though. I started writing for them in 2014 and since 2012 I have gradually upgraded my conversion from AGMs, adding a house bank, inverter, small solar to run my 4G router and monitoring system and now the extra chargers. That's why electric is so much fun - you can take a modular approach as you can afford it. The Lithiums are incredible on charge and discharge, no voltage sag like AGMs and bulk charge all the way. High discharge with virtually no Peukert effect and therefore excellent energy density with less weight. I've tested the upgrade on land running the system for about 10 hours by attaching a water supply to the vent hose on the PSS shaft seal. Can't wait to get back on the water as I missed last season due to a knee op.

John
