Upgrading to Lithium Batteries from AGM on our Leopard48 Catamaran PILAR | EP51
We replaced our AGM batteries with Relion Lithium on our Leopard48 ! Get the details on how to do it right. Well, at least we think it's right. We spent weeks on the design (in between other things in life). These were installed January 2020 and so far the results have been fantastic! Use this video as a guide on what to consider, not a How-To. As you know, with boat repairs, you are on your own. We accept no responsibility for your actions:-)
Steps to our Lithium Installation
1. Install 1st alternator and regulator and test
2. Repeat for 2nd alternator
3. Remove one AGM and test fit Relion
4. Install shunt mounting board
5. Install circuit breakers
6. Install battery monitor heads and cable to shunts
7. Drill and mount new battery cable feedthroughs (6)
8. Make and install battery cables and interconnect cables (12 + 2)
9. Program Magnum and Outback
10. Install batteries
TURN IT ON AND PRAY!
