Hello,
I would like to replace my existing lead batteries to Lithium. A challenge is the existing bowtruster with a capacity of 6KW, approximately 480A at 24V. There is also a 24V electric toilet and a 24V electric winch. The service and starter batteries are currently 12V.
The plan is to install a large 24V bank (Lithium). Do away with the service batteries and install a 24/12V dc-dc converter for the dashboard (navigation electronics and lighting). The motor remains 12V with a lead battery.
The sailboat is only 11 meters. So a lot of capacity is not needed. Which Lithium batteries are suitable to power the approximately 500A/24V of the bow thruster? There is a preference to do this with Victron, but unfortunately there are no Windston cells in it anymore. These were 3C and suitable for high currents. Building it yourself is due to insurance not an option.
