Lithium Batteries

Lithium batteries are one of the most satisfying upgrades you can make to your boat. They offer far more usable power in a smaller and lighter package. But installing lithium batteries properly takes paying careful attention to sizing, charging, and fusing. A poor design will not only damage your expensive new batteries, it can be a safety hazard. In 2022, ABYC published standard E-13 with formal recommendations on proper lithium installation. Let us plan and install your system and sleep more soundly.

Solar Panels

Solar panels are one of the best ways to charge that big new Lithium battery pack – free, silent energy! We can help you select, size and install panels.

High Output Alternators

Modern alternators are available that can put out more power, to charge your new lithium batteries faster. But they require proper installation and regulation to work well. We can help you figure out the best solution for your boat.
