Ryan’s nerdy guide to lithium batteries on sailboats (VS lead acid)
This week, Ryan shares all the knowledge he has of lithium batteries from the company he once started with his once college roommate, and why we are installing lithium batteries on our sailboat.
Ryan goes through all the advantages of lithium batteries, from size, weight, charging time, charging cycles to temperature range and useful power.
We go through the different type of lithium batteries out there in the world and compare the price between lithium and lead acid batteries. Ryan even answers some questions regarding having lithium batteries on boats.
In a different video, we will show the installation process.

The guide to lithium batteries on a sailboat (VS lead acid) // Ryan’s tech corner #1 Locations
Ryan & Sophie Sailing
Ever wondered what life looks like on the other side of quitting your job to sail around the World? We did too. And then, we took the plunge. Welcome to our channel, where we tell the stories of our sailing voyage, from zero experience to full-time cruising! We are Ryan and Sophie, an American guy and a French girl who met in Sweden, on a cold night of March 2015. Shortly thereafter, we decided to leave our corporate jobs to live a big sailing adventure around the World together. We had no experience of sailing at all before we started, and had honestly no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Turns out, with a bit of willpower and work, anything goes. The dream came true on June 5th of 2018, when we finally got to set sail from our home port in Stockholm. Don't forget to subscribe (it helps us a lot ;)) and check out our website at www.ryanandsophie.com for more sailing-related photos and articles!
