Aluminum Sailboat Pt 16 Lithium Battery - How They're Made | EP 237

This time on Distant Shores we go into depth on Lithium batteries, planning out the boat's energy storage system, and touring the Super-B Battery factory where we learn how marine lithium batteries are manufactured and tested for safety. We are building a new aluminum Enksail Orion 49 expedition sailboat and over the last 12 months we've been documenting the hull construction as well as systems design for the hybrid electric diesel drive system. Check out the build series here if you missed any videos, and add a comment below if you have any additional topics you're interested in. #lithiumbatteries #aluminumsailboat #powersystems 00:00 Introduction 00:52 What is our range under electric propulsion 01:40 Super-B Batteries in the Netherlands 02:53 Lithium Iron Phosphate battery chemistry 03:31 Energy Storage with LiFePO4 Prismatic Cells 04:21 Lithium Battery design features 05:50 Labelling and tracking components for quality LiFePO4 batteries 06:37 Largest batteries and increase in battery size 07:40 Building one of our Lithium batteries start to finish 09:07 Shunt is built in LiFePO4 battery to monitor for safety 09:34 Temperature sensors for extra safety 09:49 Installing the BMS Battery Monitoring System 10:33 Testing the complete battery on the Lithium test stand 11:43 Bus connectors for Lithium Iron Phosphate safe batteries 12:24 Temperature sensors for additional safety monitoring 13:05 DNV Det Norske Veritas type approval for marine lithium batteries 14:43 How the BMS balances cells Battery Management System 16:18 Designing a large battery system for our boat 17:07 Thanks for Watching
