What this video covers

The crew of Parlay Revival completes a 12-volt lithium battery conversion, installing two independent banks totaling 3,000 amp-hours to replace their previous system.5:46 The setup features six 300Ah batteries on one side and six 200Ah batteries on the other, each equipped with individual T-class fuses to meet ABYC standards.0:24 To ensure balanced loads and redundancy, the installation uses two separate battery management systems (BMS) wired in parallel with custom-soldered diodes.9:29 The system integrates two inverters in parallel, a Cerbo GX for monitoring, and a Wakespeed regulator for alternator charging.12:29 The crew also replaces a damaged alternator rectifier and uses a thermal imaging camera to verify that all high-current connections remain within safe temperature ranges during heavy loads.12:23 Hans-Peter from Octopus Electrical in Phuket inspects the final wiring and confirms the installation meets safety requirements.20:22 The project provides 36 kilowatt-hours of capacity, allowing the boat to run multiple air conditioning units and household appliances independently of shore power.21:30
