Catamaran Lithium Battery Conversion Part 1 (KiloVault HLX+ LiFePO4 Batteries)
This week we began our lithium battery conversion on our 2017 Lagoon 42 sailing catamaran. We sat down with a professional and discussed the KiloVault HLX+ LiFePO4 batteries, the details of our design plan, and why the term “drop-in” oversimplifies the installation process of lithium batteries. We had our D400 wind turbines removed, new solar panels installed, and made some interior modifications to accommodate our new batteries. We are looking forward to continuing this project next week! 🔋🔌

Holly and Ray
Just a couple of sailors trying to stay afloat and filming along the way! With no jobs and no plan, we live every day like it’s Saturday. ⛵️ Originally from Portland, Oregon, and San Diego, California, we sold all our belongings in exchange for a life on the water. Now, we are slowly circumnavigating! With backgrounds in science and engineering, we have a knack for technology and self-repairs. Our vlogs are casual, real-time videos that feature us enjoying and constantly trying to improve upon our 2017 Lagoon 42. Email: sailing@svsabado.com
