The owners of a salvaged sailboat are upgrading their electrical system with five 8D Battle Born lithium iron phosphate batteries, totaling 1,350 amp hours of capacity.3:09 The installation includes two Victron MultiPlus 3,000-volt-amp inverter-chargers, a battery shunt, and two solar charge controllers.3:14 To ensure balanced discharge and charging rates across the battery bank, the installers plan to cut all positive and negative cable runs to identical lengths.18:01 They are using 4/0 gauge cable to minimize resistance and support high-draw systems like a water maker.19:08 The project aims to enable off-grid, long-term cruising without reliance on a generator.4:25 The crew disposed of their old AGM batteries at an auto parts store before fitting the new lithium units into a tight compartment in the boat's bilge.15:23 The installation remains ongoing as the crew prepares for a southward passage.15:56 Matching cable lengths for parallel battery banks prevents uneven load distribution and extends the service life of the individual units.18:01
