Subject: Looking for battery/electrical ideas
Info: (21411 views) Posted: Sunday 2-3-13 10:19:49 PM
Nothing special here.

Integral batteries/solar for buoy racing.

Larger central battery for longer stuff. When I bought it, which was 5-6 years ago, it was the lightest model that had decent capacity... it still weighs far more than I'd like. Not LEDs yet either.

This is an area I can improve upon.

:: I'm wondering what sort of battery systems people are
:: running; specifically what type of battery, what
:: capacity, and where are you putting it?
::
:: For buoy racing our only electrical needs are keeping
:: the TackTick hull transmitter charged and we plan to use
:: solar or AA's for that.
::
:: For offshore we will need to power nav lights (LED), a
:: small GPS, and it looks like a fixed mount VHF too
:: (which we don't plan to use much)....all for 2-3 nights.
:: May add a tiller pilot too for occasional use.
::
:: I've still got to work out the current draw, but want to
:: get some ideas of what others are doing.
