Swapping From AGM to Lithium Batteries on a Sailboat
After 2 years of sailing on Cadoha, the time has come to replace our old AGM battery bank with something new. It was time to upgrade to a lithium battery bank.
A huge thank you to the guy that really helped us decide on exactly what kit we needed for what we wanted to achieve, Roland, the owner of https://www.qualitysource.co.uk who are experts in everything to do with advanced lithium batteries and off grid living. This guy went above and beyond simply selling us batteries and an inverter, he spent hours on the phone to us and over email, holding our hands through what seemed like a super daunting process, and made sure that we had everything we needed to tackle this epic project.
Thank you again so much, Roland, you’re a real super star!
Be sure to check out the batteries that we bought, which at the time writing this (15 June 2021) happen to be on sale with £225 off each battery! 👌🏻 https://www.qualitysource.co.uk/collections/lifepo4-li-ion-novel-series-bluetooth-battery/products/novel-series-12v-200ah
Also another huge thanks goes to Frankie the ‘Mad Scientist’ who really went above and beyond, helping us with the physical installation of all our new hardware, mate, we couldn’t of done this without your help, you were so generous with your time and we owe you big time, thank you again, matey! Frankie has an instagram page where he periodically uploads his ‘boat hacks’ in-between his e-surfing exploits. He’s forever coming up with cost effective ways to recreate what the marine industry would sell you for 10x the price. If you have instagram, give the man a follow for his efforts! https://www.instagram.com/battcat_boathacks

Sailing Cadoha
CArly, DOm & HAnk make up the crew of Cadoha. We're challenging ourselves to a new life on the water, exploring and showing off some of the best-kept secrets along our home shores. We're slowly building out our blue water sailing boat to be a comfortable liveaboard boat, capable of expended periods of time off of the grid, with a mix of modern technology and old. Follow our adventures as we learn to find, forage and catch our own food, whilst learning to sail our floating home to so many stunning destinations. We make friends all along the coastline, who we learn and grow from, in our quest for ultimate freedom! The world has never felt so fragile to us as it has these past couple of years, so come and join us as we prepare this vessel and ourselves to be ready for anything!
