What this video covers

A 30-ft Alberg 30 undergoing a mid-circumnavigation refit in Langkawi, Malaysia, replaces its damaged lithium battery bank with two 320 Ah Dakota Lithium batteries, totalling 640 Ah of capacity.▶ 8:23 The previous bank suffered BMS failure following a near lightning strike in Indonesia.▶ 2:28 Before installation, the owner attempts to balance the new batteries using a Victron Phoenix smart charger, but finds the charger insufficient for the initial top-up; he successfully balances the bank by charging each unit individually via solar power over two days.▶ 13:01 The installation includes securing the batteries in new metal trays and replacing a corroded ground cable with 4/0 marine-grade tinned cable.▶ 18:04 The owner inspects existing cables for internal corrosion before reuse, finding only surface-level oxidation on the terminals.▶ 18:45 The system is finalised by connecting the batteries to the existing Victron-based electrical architecture, providing power for an all-electric galley and navigation systems.▶ 25:11
