    Lithium conversion

    Yes definately need EWOF compliance and risk free installation as far as that is possible. Insurer requires installation or sign off by marine electrician . Burnsco have confirmed none of the lithium battery brands they sell are compliant.

    This seems a good over view

    Lithium conversion

    Well I’m just starting to look into the lithium option on a fairly new production boat. My first query is whether it’s possible to give a ball park $$ cost of changing out the house batteries for two 200ah lithiums that are EWOF capable. I’m assuming all the components will need changing including existing charger, solar regulators , fuses etc and alternator protection. I read somewhere only 3 brands will meetEWOF requirements…Juice, Victron and ?? . What kind of budget is realistic assuming current installation of AGMs is clean and tidy .
  5. Can anyone recommend a good marine electrician to install lithium batteries. I’m in Auckland/ Gulf Harbour. Thanks.

    Stack Packs

    Are people with their stack packs? Any suggestions regarding suppliers. They seem to get mixed reviews.

    I was told the lotus 10.6 can be a handful in stronger winds due to width at back?? And that the Shiraz is likely to perform better upwind?

    Hi looking for some comment regarding comparison between Alan Wrights Shiraz and Lotus 10.6 thanks. It would seem the Shiraz is a better sailing boat and perhaps more suitable offshore ?
