Alcohol stoves are great but finding a decent one since Origo stopped making them is hard. The Wallas on the the other hand, is available and easy to use. *Paul J. Thompson*Information Technology

Thanks Paul, this makes sense. Seeing the prevalence of alcohol stoves in the boat space vs. backpacking and RV stuff where propane and other related fuels are the norm raised a question for me. It

Lithium (LiFePo4) don't gas. Lead Acid (AGMs) do give of hydrogen if being over charged. For cooking I'm using an induction hob when solar is plentiful and a Wallas diesel stove which I run on

My understanding is that lithium batteries do not emit any gas, except under extraordinary conditions (thermal runaway).

Hi Folks, Another question - the boat that I'm looking to purchase is a Pearson 10M that has been converted to electric drive via a bank of Lithium cells for the drive and two AGM batteries for the

Okay, I've attached a pdf of my conversion from the 30+ year old really expensive parts Volvo Piece of iron to the Thunderstruck AC 34 for your entertainment. I have learned a lot since then and am

Hi Marcel, I did this part back in early 2014 and am answering from memory. When I got the old motor out I found out the SD input shaft had a fairly well known issue of the splines being worn out. I

The outboard cavitation plate should be even with the bottom of the boat. Mounting a motor above the plate will not work as intended since water flow will be turbulent.

Overall efficiency depends on several factors, including the motor controller(s), the amount of drag in the water, and the propeller. It's really helpful if you can measure the power used by your

Something like this might work: Granted most of that style of motor are just for trolling.? But possibly a 'pod'-style electric motor, mounted on something attached to the transom (one a side)

I agree with this. I have left my battery (48V LiFePo4, 280AH) on the boat stored outside for the winter in NE Ohio. Last season they were at something like 53.25 volts when I put the boat way and

Check with battery manufacturer. I have Winston cells - their spec sheet shows operating down to -45c. Does it get colder than that where you ?winter?

Hi Scott, Regarding your question 1, there is nothing wrong with storing your batteries in your basement. However, I do not believe you have to do that. From what I have read, you are not supposed

Hi Scott, I have a Kirby 30 on Lake Ontario (at TSCC) with a Thunderstruck Kit as well and 3 48V/96 Ah Dakota Lithium packs wired in serial, this is my second season with the install.? In prior

I’m looking at buying a Pearson 10M that has been fitted with a Thunderstruck 10k and bank of 4 lithium battery packs for 196 AH 48V. All that checks out and fits fine with my needs and wants for

The expert sources I've encountered say that prismatic battery cases must be constrained and prevented from bulging.? I've divided my pack into 4 boxes of 4 so that I can take the batteries off the

Those are lashing straps, to help keep the cells together when moving a four-cell module.? Without them, just the bus bars hold the cells together, and the two end cells can move a lot relative to
