What this video covers

Brett and Jade, living aboard the sailboat Eva, attempt to upgrade their galley and troubleshoot electrical and appliance issues while docked in Spain.0:31 The couple replaces their propane oven with a Ninja electric oven and induction cooktop to eliminate combustible gas, though the new unit requires custom fitting into the existing gimbaled frame.1:14 Brett also investigates a significant drop in usable capacity from their 1,350 amp-hour Battle Born lithium battery bank, which currently provides only about 700 amp-hours.9:49 He isolates and tests each of the five batteries individually using a Victron system to identify potential BMS failures or capacity loss.10:21 Simultaneously, the crew attempts to repair a Daewoo Mini washing machine that fails to spin or intake water properly, discovering that charcoal debris from a water filter has clogged the drain and intake valves.13:23 Despite extensive testing and disassembly, the battery capacity remains lower than expected and the washing machine remains non-functional.19:12
