New Lithium Battery
30 November 2012 | Prickly Bay, Grenada
Isobel shows off the extra space left by removing the old lead batteries. THe new battery occupies 1/2 the space and weighs less then half of the lead batteries.
So far we have enjoyed the constant 13 volts. Today was the first day since we installed it that we had to charge with the engine. We have definitely been harvesting more energy from the sun (The lithium looses only 1% to heat compared to 20%+ with the old Lead batteries).
We have used the vacuum and a rope cutter off the inverter, and we have Carl, who has joined us for the passage... another computer charging and more water used etc...
So, we ran the engine for an hour, and charged at 77 Amps the entire time.
