How We Installed Four 608Ah Fogstar Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries On Our Sailboat

In this video, we upgrade our sailboat's house battery bank with four Fogstar 608Ah lithium batteries, wired in parallel to create a massive 2,432Ah house bank! ? ? What You'll See in This Video: ? Unboxing and overview of the Fogstar 608Ah lithium batteries ? Wiring the batteries in parallel for maximum amp-hour capacity ? Installing the battery bank safely on my sailboat ? Using the Fogstar app to monitor voltage, current, and temperature while running a 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter ? Battery Specs: - Brand: Fogstar - Capacity: 608Ah per battery - Total System: 2,432Ah @ 12V - Chemistry: LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) ? Why This Upgrade? Switching to lithium means longer lifespan, faster charging, and more usable power compared to traditional lead-acid or AGM batteries. This setup gives us tons of reliable energy for off-grid cruising, running appliances, and ensuring that we never run out of power on the water. ?
