New batteries! We Upgrade to Lithium! #lithium #batteryinstall #sailing Ep 36

This video is boat geeks out there to have a look at our recent lithium battery install. We used Victron batteries sourced from PKYS and put in an 800 amp hour bank tied to our solar, generator and alternators. It was a huge undertaking, have look and leave a comment if you have any questions. ------------------------------------------------ Subscribe at: www.youtube.com/c/sailinghangtime Posting on: https://www.facebook.com/sailinghangtime https://www.instagram.com/sailinghangtime/ Recent videos: https://youtu.be/dj0sbA2J6kg https://youtu.be/6Y-JO8gWEck -------------------------------------------- About us: We are a family of four who have been living on our boat for the past 2+ years with our two boys and our newest addition, a Havanese pup named Ruby. We worked hard in our 20's and 30's and built a company that has an amazing team managing it and allows us to work remotely and take time to enjoy this time with our fmaily. We love adeventure, sports and an active lifestyle but also take pleasure in a great meal or a sunset gin and tonic. Boat life is challanging and busy but we have been learning as we go and have a great appreciation for the sailing community and the willingness of others to teach and share skills. After two seasons in the Caribben we're hoping to Hangtime through the Panama Canal and onto New Zealand in 2021.
