Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of SV Delos replaces their lead-acid battery bank with lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries to eliminate propane dependency and transition to induction cooking.0:16 The project involves installing a 3-kilowatt inverter-charger and a Victron battery monitor with a shunt to manage the new 24-volt system.0:24 Because lithium batteries can disconnect automatically to protect against high voltage or temperature, the crew incorporates a starter battery as a buffer to prevent voltage spikes from damaging other onboard electronics.11:23 They also reconfigure existing solar and wind charge controllers to match lithium-specific voltage profiles.15:11 After installation, a side-by-side test shows the induction cooktop boils a liter of water in 7 minutes and 25 seconds, compared to 6 minutes and 24 seconds for the propane stove, while producing significantly less ambient heat in the galley.18:56 The upgrade increases usable battery capacity and reduces generator runtime.
