In early spring 2022, a new lithium battery pack from Makspower and a Victron Multplus II 12/3000/120-32 were installed in the boat. The batteries that were chosen were 4 pcs. Makspower 150Ah 12 volt mini. These batteries have the same external dimensions as standard or ordinary 100Ah batteries and fit nicely in the battery box in the boat so that there was the most ampere hours in the least possible space.

There were 2 pcs. 12 volt AGM batteries of 240 Ah each in the boat before the battery change this winter and a 1500W /230 volt inverter that was installed in 2019. The old batteries still had plenty of capacity, but the boat is equipped with two heaters, a cool box and a fridge in addition to a microwave oven and a small washing machine that runs on 230 volts (equipped for real West Country weather!). The voltage drop across the batteries was large when there was a high load and the AGM batteries were drained far down on weekend trips and vacations. It was considered to install Lithium batteries in 2019 when the existing AGM batteries were installed, but the cost and lack of qualified professionals to do the job were at the time decisive for going for the simple solution of just replacing the batteries with new AGM batteries, and rather postpone this with Lithium batteries a little more.

The batteries and Victron Multipluss II now installed in the boat were carried out in Haugesund by Østbø Marine Elektro, the ship's electrician. The boat has its home port in Stavanger and was sailed the 27 nautical miles to Haugesund to get the job done. The boat was in Haugesund for a week while the work was carried out.
