New ideas for house banks | PowerOak Bluetti AC200P
IF YOU”RE THINKING OF CHANGING TO LITHIUM FOR YOUR HOUSE BANK WATCH THIS VIDEO!
Following on from the Ecoflow review, this is looking at a more powerful unit from PowerOak. The Bluetti EC200P could be used as a house bank for a small boat and as it comes with an excellent 2KW inverter and MPPT capable of taking 750W of solar it’s a one stop shop for electrical power on your boat.
There are even more powerful versions of these sorts of units coming to the market and they really could provide a viable (and cheaper) way of transferring over to LiFePo4 type batteries, which I think most boats will be doing in the next few years.
Switching to Lithium isn’t a slot in procedure no matter how you do it because of all the charging systems involved, but having in built MPPT’s will at least make your solar installation more straight forward.
I want to give these guys a shout out as I got some great info from them in my research,

and Hobotech

so do check out their channels.
Hobotec have done a test on a pre-production model of an even more powerful power station from Bluetti that could power large boats, something to put in the mix when you’re thinking about moving from lead acid to Lithium for house power.
I’m working on the web page to give more details and to give feed back on how the units I have are performing, I’ll put the link here when it’s done.
Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.

Is the eWincher a good buy?
Having sailing Fair Isle full time for 8 years and 25,000 miles we know we can cope without electric winches so we had the eWincher down as a 'nice to have' item rather than a 'must have' But there were certainly occasions when we would have loved to have ...
