Re: Storm tactics
Hello all,
What are your thoughts on using a para-anchor or storm rated sea anchor type setup?

Wintering in potentially freezing conditions, watermaker?
Hi folks,
We will be wintering ashore this year at Ardrossan, Scotland where there is a possibility of subzero temperatures and I intend to take measures to combat possible damage due to freezing.

Re: Amel is going lithium
Thanks Scott;
We do use LIPO, LI-ION and LiFEpo4 in our hobby and am familiar with the safety vs. energy storage, weight, # of cycles differences. I agree that that LiFepo4 would be the safest

Re: Amel is going lithium
Mohammad,
Both Victron, which I have and Mastervolt use lifepo4 chemistry, a much safer (but less energy dense) technology than the lithium ion that is more common. I don't know much about RC planes,

Re: Amel is going lithium
Porter,
I guess you mean far from the panels to the mppt?
Maybe you can experiment with parallel to see if you get higher output. I believe parallel is better than serial when you have shading on

Re: Amel is going lithium
I am not familiar with the sizing on the Mastervolt inverter/chargers, but for Victron their 8000va model was too heavy for my piece of mind.
Agree with you on keeping the genset. I rarely run it but

Re: Amel is going lithium
Porter,
You've astutely pointed out one of the major advantages of Lifepo4.
Charging your lead (?) batteries between 80-100% maximizes their longevity but results in them having trouble accepting
