Adding Lithium Batteries to a Small Boat

I added some lithium batteries from Amazon along with a Victron Orion DC to DC charger.

Timely as I'm thinking of heading in the same direction. Thanks.

U could also add the remote in turn on/off on the dc to dc match ignition/accessories key/switch. This will help any issues while start not charged and dc to dc is pulling current

Peter you’re looking good. Number one fan. But isn’t there an issue with lithium ion batteries exploding?

[@svsilverheels7185]

Lithium-ion is not the same as lithium-iron-phosphate. There are multiple battery formulations that make use of lithium. Some are prone to 'run-away', which can result in overheating and fires (I'm not sure about explosions). But the lithium iron phosphate batteries I put on Silverheels will not behave this way, and are widely considered to be pretty safe. You could look it up on the internet :^)
