In this episode we start to build the battery box as well as a mock-up of the compartment in the sailboat where we'll have the battery. We also assembly the battery cells we bought to a 48V battery and connect it to one of the inverters. We also charge them for the first time and make sure they are balanced.

We are Thomas and Petra and late August 2020 we left Sweden to start our first sailing adventure. We sailed for a year to the Caribbean and back again. October 2023 we bought a new sailboat, a Wasa 530 that is need of some renovation.

On our channel you will be able to follow our process - from buying a sailboat that has been standing for 10+ years and turning her into a perfect blue water cruiser!
Our plan going forward is to post a new video bi-weekly on Saturdays.
