Hi Scott, Typically good BMS-es can measure at 0.01 resolution. So even at lower SOC you will be able to see differences. Charging up to 100% can be postponed longer with continuous balancing. Active

Hello, I am looking at replacing the engine mounts on my 2004 Yanmar 4JH3-HTE engine. The current Yanmar mounts, (on the fuel and oil filter side), are labeled 200 which I believe would mean they are

Doug, Thanks. The A-54 bow thruster controls went through several changes during the production of the 54. This is great information for some 54 owners. Thanks again! Bill

Doug. Very helpful. A great addition. Thank you Porter McRoberts S/V IBIS A54-152WhatsApp:+1 754 265 2206 Www.fouribis.net

I have spent the last couple of days trying to debug the side-power bow thruster on my boat, and the up/down 4 relay system. My motor for up/down had a bad bearing and was blowing a fuse. It appears

Does anyone understand "continuous cell balancing", because I don't? When I have had unbalanced batteries, the batteries are look perfectly balanced until you get to 90% + SOC. This is because of the

Thanks Bill, mine never had a cover. Great I am on the right track. Nick

Brilliant! Thank you Bill. These zoom meetings are incredibly valuable! Guillaume Carpathia III - SM2K #293 Now in Athens

Nick, Maybe I was not clear...I was talking about the forward-facing cover that you fabricated. I think all the 54's I have seen have a loose-fitting cover on the forward end...maybe yours was lost,

Hi Bill, So the GRP cover was always there. I took it off and bedded it back with silicone. The odd thing is that the front end was left open for spay to go straight in. I decided to glue on a pvc

Hello, Just had Flash battery Kaiken that does continuous cell balancing... but they don’t do batteries for yachts and private owners just for industrial companies. so that s out for

Nick, I thought all A-54s had a cover where you made one, but maybe it was later model 54s. I do have an issue about the cover I have seen on 54s and that is there is not a good seal around the

Hi Paul, This Best Lithium BMS still uses passive balancing and it does not say if it only does top-balancing. So from that perspective it's not a great BMS. Arno

hi Porter it does come off but lots of prying and force and lube. I still had to buy a new one as it could not be repaired in grenada. I believe in the south Pacific they are more creative so good

I recently serviced both main furling and outhaul gears and motors. I found the aluminium shaft on the furling motor very difficult to remove. It was soaked 48 hours in diesel and then pressed out

Hi Guys, Michel, the owner of the chandlery at Marina Taina, can probably steer you to a competent electrician... Good luck Jean-Pierre Germain, Eleuthera, SM007, Opua, NZ
