Upgrading to LITHIUM BATTLEBORN BATTERIES on our boat [Ep19 RED SEAS]
We install lithium batteries on our sailing catamaran - probably the single biggest improvement we are making to our boat! The new batteries will connect to our solar, give us more power for longer and it means we can stop relying on that horrible diesel generator to charge our phones!
We uninstall our old AGM batteries, wire in our new lithium ones from Battleborn, install an inverter and explain all the parts in our new system as it connects to our solar panels.
