Lithium Conversion Episode 2 Clearing The Decks

In our lithium conversion it's time to clear the decks.We get some dry days and use the opportunity to take out some of the old gear in preparation for the conversion.
• Lithium Conversion
We cruise extensively along the East Australian Coast on our 13 meter catamaran. Join us as we explore new cruising grounds, cross bars, fix all kinds of problems, ride out rough weather and live aboard for extended periods.
We even have a playlist that gets us on other peoples boats.
We hope that our videos encourage others to get on board and experience this fantastic lifestyle.

Hi Norm... Informative video The current from the panels is 320/40 which is appox 8 amps ( There is a O/C amp and voltage lable on the back off the panels ) The 100/50 On the victron is 100 volts O/C voltage and 50 Amps O/C current max from the Panels the Controller can handle You can use the larger panels ... Normally the bigest problem is staying below the Max voltage but Mr Parrallel is your friend Cheers Tim

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Yeah Thanks Tim. I'll let Bruce answer on the detail, but The smaller panels worked a treat and saved a lot of time moving stuff on the roof. Tink they'll be heaps big enough dude.
