Battery Upgrade Completed

[Daverw]

Just today completed replacing AGMs for Lithium, more work than expected as larger cables etc took some shorting.
Must add thanks to those who offered advice and I think the whole project was made easier if not more costly by using victron stuff as it just worked together and their online documents very usefull.

Now can fit more stuff on board as we are 100 kg lighter

Hope you meant sorting!

If you do want to short them use an 18mm spanner not a 17 or 19.

Still got some tidying up but most done, just today lifted out the AGMs, I’d forgot how heavy even smaller ones are.
I’ve also a second battery to add, cables all done and just need to complete some mods to seat storage to fit, also waiting on Victron to send new internal board that will add Bluetooth to this battery.
