Lithium batteries 5: Œuvre layout
Now that the theoretical bases were exposed, It is time to practice.
Lithium batteries 4: Charge the battery
Nothing easier than to charge a lithium battery : You connect to a current source continuous maximum current is limited to 0, 3 c (120A for a battery of 400Ah) and the maximum voltage limited to 13.8V When the voltage reaches 13.8V and the current drops to 0.025C (10A…
Lithium batteries 3: Protection of the equipment and the crew
Any battery is potentially dangerous ! Even if the lithium batteries (LiFePo4) are the safest of the lithium batteries (and might even present less risk than the battery lead), they can easily be destroyed and/or be dangerous in certain extreme situations...
Fees fruit cake
The Marquesans love it and Nathalie prepares it in no time. Thanking them for all the fruit they give us, We bring to them a cake... and friendship does the rest! Ask all who taste the recipe… Now we drive them to the TAO Blog.
Funny clothespins
Many boats asked us where we found these clips laundry...
2 lithium batteries… Y' has no picture!
See performance clearly superior to those of the lead-acid batteries, the lithium battery (LiFePo4) seems the best choice for the boat service batteries. But they are very sensitive to certain parameters that must master before embarking on this adventure.
Lithium batteries 1 – YES…. but!
It all started in April 2015 during a walk on the banks of the new marina in Papeete.
"Bungee” boom
Coming from the unibody I had kept the habit of putting, on Tao, a hoist used boom by wind. It was struck between the central cleat and a bridge to the 2/3 the back of the boom... until the day when the cleat pulled out... and a buddy has folded its boom with the same technical!!! As we learn…
