Andy & Lee take over the helm this week to talk about battery technology. Last year Andy made the switch to Dakota Lithium on SPICA, his Norlin 34 in Sweden, and Lee just did the same on their VW Westphalia. FALKEN is about to get a MAJOR lithium upgrade with 2,000-aH of Lithionics batteries and two massive charging alternators putting out 900-amps of charging from the Beta 85T engine.
Lee & Andy will discuss how battery tech has evolved over the past fifteen years and look at some of the myths surrounding lithium, why there is such a big difference in price between something like Lithionics (with an external BMS) and "drop-in" batteries like Dakota & others (with internal BMS's), why we went one way on SPICA and another on FALKEN and more.
