After 12 years NZ has finally updated the Electrical Regulations that apply to recreational vessels and Lithium batteries. An amendment to the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010 now cites AS/NZS 3004.2:2014 This came into force Nov 2025. Primarily, what this means for eveyone here, is that you'll no longer have to put up with me and @Island Timedisagreeing on which standard applies

Good discussion, I want to get a panel but since space is limited to an area approximately 1.2 m square on the coachroof I will need one that I can walk on when flaking the main if it is to be permanently fixed. I for boats under 12m that is probably the biggest issue; spare real estate. The alternative is a demountable rigid panel but that has its own set of issues with stowage, so its a bit of a tricky problem if you need a permanent power source.
