Webinar Package - Solar Power and Lithium Batteries

Wednesday, January 17, 2024 and Thursday, January 18, 2024
This package first covers generation of power giving you a solid understanding of solar power systems and how to design an appropriate system to meet run your boat's electrical requirements. The second webinar dives into Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries that are a huge leap forward over conventional batteries for marine electrical systems.

The first session will provide you with an understanding of the components of a marine solar system and how they work and integrate with the current boat electrical system. The second session will focus on modern Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery technology and how these relatively newly developed products offer significant advantages to marine electrical systems providing faster charging, deeper discharges, more discharge cycles all with significanrtly less weight and space than conventional batteries.

If you are considering upgrading your electrical system or if you are just curious about Solar Power systems and Lithium Battery technology, these two webinars will give you a great introduction allowing your to move forward with confidence to design a balanced electrical system to best meet your boat's needs. You'll be sure to get a charge out of both of these webinars.
