Aluminum Sailboat Pt 16 Lithium Battery - How They're Made

This time on Distant Shores we go into depth on Lithium batteries, planning out the boat's energy storage system, and touring the Super-B Battery factory where we learn how marine lithium batteries are manufactured and tested for safety.

We are building a new aluminum Enksail Orion 49 expedition sailboat and over the last 12 months we've been documenting the hull construction as well as systems design for the hybrid electric diesel drive system. Check out the build series here if you missed any videos, and add a comment below if you have any additional topics you're interested in.
