More battery failures, questionable safety designs, and another deep dive into the Battle Born controversy. In this episode of **Sailing into Freedom**, we examine recent battery testing from Will Prowse, including severe capacity loss, dead cells, loose internal connections, failed thermal-disconnect tests, and concerns about how these batteries perform in high-vibration marine environments.
We also break down Battle Born’s unusual thermal protection design, compare it with conventional fuses and published trip curves, and explain why battery capacity testing matters—especially on boats where weight, space, vibration, and reliability are critical. Meanwhile, work continues on the Elcano catamaran, although sensitive activity at the new factory means the cameras must stay away for now.
If you’re interested in **LiFePO4 batteries, marine electrical systems, battery safety, Battle Born batteries, off-grid solar, electric boats, and real-world battery testing**, this episode provides plenty to consider before investing in a marine battery bank.
