Yes and no. There is sometimes need an adjustment in your charging system. Without this adjustment you run the risk of your engine alternator or generator breaking down
That depends on the application. It is better to use a small lead-acid battery as a starter battery. As an 'energy storage', a lead-acid battery is relatively more expensive because you a lot need more for the same storage capacity and they really last a lot less.
You can never completely discharge a lead-acid battery without it becoming defective or in any case greatly decreasing in capacity. This 'too far' discharge of a lead-acid battery unfortunately happens more often than you think. As a result, a lead-acid battery does not last long and burdens the environment more heavily. This is a costly affair, especially when there is a question of large battery (sets). A LiFePo4 battery is internally protected against this. The number of cycles that a LiFePo4 battery can go through (3000x) is many times higher than that of a lead battery (AGM 700x). Nevertheless, a lead-acid battery can be used perfectly under certain circumstances.
No, on the contrary. Short circuit when using a lead acid battery often results in fire and explosion of the battery. A LiFePo4 battery is internally protected against dangerously high currents and too high a temperature in the battery. The battery is then automatically switched off.
That depends on the average climate where you are and your consumption.
Wind and sun are the main suppliers of energy. One of the two must be available, otherwise you are dependent on the generator or the combustion engine that is used to propel your ship or camper
This depends on many factors, the fact is that the purchase costs money.
You earn this back because you don't have to buy energy AND you are independent from others.
At the end of the ride you are much cheaper. You make your own energy.
We are specialized in 'small' systems up to 15kW users.
Houseboats, tiny houses, holiday homes, pleasure boats, motorhomes.
- Which consumers do you have
- How long do you use it per day
- How much space do you have on the roof of your house, camper or ship
- What climate do you live in
- Do you have space or possibilities for a windmill?
- What is your budget
- Do you (occasionally) have a connection to the land network
- Are you using a fossil fuel propulsion motor
- Do you have a generator at your disposal?
Initially we prefer to receive an e-mail or WAP with your wishes and requirements
We can then give you a clear answer and give an indication of the costs and possibilities. Daarna it is of course possible to consult by telephone to answer specific questions.
We like to be honest about this.
The electronics come from renowned manufacturers with a high service level and proven quality. We like to work with Victron, but always consider which brand is best for your application.
We assemble the LiFePo4 batteries ourselves, the components come from the best manufacturers.
Asia is the only continent on this continent where sufficient LiFePo4 cells of excellent quality are produced (Lishen, EVE). Factories are currently being built in Europe, but there will be virtually no supply in 2022.
If we take care of your installation, you will receive a manufacturer's warranty on the materials, and of course a warranty on the installation. If your system fails within 2 years due to a fault in the product or installation supplied by us, we will replace it free of charge at our location.
