17th of December ⚡ Powering Vela: Our Complete Electrical Overhaul! 🔋
Day 17 of our Christmas calendar dives into something BIG: our new electrical system! 🎄⚡ This year, we upgraded to a setup that lets us live off-grid for months at a time. Here’s what powers Vela: 🔋 800Ah lithium batteries feeding our Lynx distribution panel. ⚙️ Powers essentials like the 12V DC system, electric winch, anchor windlass, and oil heater. 🔄 MPPT solar charger harnessing energy from the sun. 🔌 3kW inverter/charger providing AC power wherever we are. 🚛 Future-ready: Plans to add a new engine generator for even more charging efficiency. 🎛️ Fischer Panda genset (8kW) for backup AC power when needed. This system gives us the freedom to run big gadgets like a watermaker, induction cooktop, and maybe even a washing machine (coming soon in the new year!). Check out our animation to see how everything works together! ✨ Got questions about living off-grid or boat electrical systems? Drop them in the comments! 💬 🎥 Join us tomorrow for another peek into life aboard Vela! 🎵 Music by Sergio Prosvirini from Pixabay #YouTubeShorts #Explore #TravelVlog #Vloggers #DailyLife #ChristmasCalendar #Vlogmas #ChristmasOnBoard #Beneteau44cc #Sailing #Liveaboard #LifeAtSea
