EVERY SAILOR'S DREAM, AC ON ANCHOR❄️ Pt. 1 - Ep. 4
🔋 MASSIVE Lithium Battery Upgrade on Our Sailboat | Off-Grid A/C Powered by the SUN! ☀️⛵
In this episode, we take on our biggest boat project yet — a complete lithium battery upgrade that will transform how we live aboard! 💪⚡
As a young sailing couple chasing the dream of full-time off-grid life at sea, our goal has always been to rely less on fossil fuels and more on renewable energy. And now, we’re finally making it happen! We’re ripping out the old AGM bank and replacing it with a powerful new lithium setup that (fingers crossed 🤞) will let us run our AIR CONDITIONING entirely on solar power! 🌞🧊
Join us for part 1 as we:
Pull out our old power system 🔧
Install our brand-new lithium battery bank 🔋
Upgrade our wiring, BMS, and charging system ⚙️
This is a HUGE step toward energy independence, comfort, and truly sustainable cruising. Come along as we sweat (literally) through this upgrade and get one step closer to living the dream!
Subscribe for more sailing adventures, boat projects, and life off the grid! 🌊❤️
