Yep, we've made the switch to Lithium batteries. We explain why we needed new batteries, why we chose lithium, how it all went down and how our new system works. It's been a looonnnngggg process, it all started in December when all our new gear to set up our lithium battery system arrived. Christmas and Covid postponed the starting of installation, but finally, after we found a willing electrician that was up for the daunting job, installation began and we are left in a 10 metre construction site. But now we're in the light at the end of the tunnel making frozen berry smoothies!
