Lithium changes the rules near alternator regulation, charge profiles and DC distribution — we update all three as part of the fit.
We know which marinas have lift-out facilities, which require tender access, and which are walk-on — and plan callouts around it.
We've fitted dozens of LiFePO4 systems all over the South Coast, from 100Ah upgrades to full 600Ah liveaboard banks with Victron monitoring throughout.
The fleet ranges from classic wooden yachts to modern production cruisers — we've worked on most of them.
If a job requires more time or extra parts, we say so up front — never after the fact.
