  1. Hi Ben! These might be just the ticket for those of us with a big lead-based bank up forward for the bow thruster & windlass?

      Hartley,

      I’m thinking this technology might be the answer for a lot of applications that have typically had us sticking with AGMs. If so, it’s a huge step forward. That said, I think there is still room for either contactor based BMSes or another technology (like super capacitors) in parallel for the largest of inrush loads.

    and have now started to offer Solid state options

    Charge voltage is something worth considering with these batteries
