Ep 41 - Testing the Batteries / Sailing Free Spirit

Ep 41 – Testing the Batteries / Sailing Free Spirit This was taken over the course of 2 very cold weekends over Christmas and New Year’s. We tested out the batteries and Victron system to see what our actual usage is with the boat running as full capacity with heater, coffeepot, cooking and TV on. We lasted about 2.5 hours before we needed to plug back into the dock and keep our sealed lead acid batteries at 50%. All financial contributions (or items purchased on Amazon) are tax deductible for your US income tax returns for full face and/or retail value. You contribution helps us to continue with project and support events to help us engage with our veterans thru events such as day sailings, working on the boat to help with projects and social gatherings. All contributions need to be made on or before Dec 31st for this tax year. Please like, subscribe and share this video. Leave us a comment below and tell us what you would like to see more of as we progress with this project. A special Thank You to our Partners! We couldn’t do this without your help and continued support. All our love and thanks, SV Free Spirit.
