Hi UB,

lithium batteries aren’t all created equal. Check out Will Prowse on YT. He pulls down most brands and investigates the inner workings.

Yeah, have watched a number of his video's on panels, controllers and batteries and noted that he returned to a brand that he was impressed with only to find that a later offering of theirs bore little resemblance to the original test example.


All in all a very informative individual. 👍

I actually contacted my insurance carrier and was told that they had no problem with lithium provided that it was lifePo4, met the relevant standard and the installation was inspected for compliance with the relevant installation standards.

First up I would ask your (or proposed) insurance co if they will accept the diy rigging as meeting their requirements. My insurance co experience has been that if they can find a way out of meeting their obligations they will grasp it like a drowning man trying to save himself.😒

Also bear in mind that most of the insurance companies require a survey and mandatory rig replacement every ten years and now appear to be enforcing these requirements😒. These can set you back 10 to 12 grand.

$1300 is in the ballpark of what I'm paying for my 32 ft fisher in sydney.

Hey, a while ago a member here shared details of a decent size lithium battery, Chinese, that they got at a decent price but somehow I have lost the details, buggered if I know how, but I would like to reconnect and gather the details if possible. Would value any info if anyone can let me know, thanks.
