SanLorenzo "Pesa" burns in Valencia

If this was a battery related mishap and those batteries where Lithium I am getting more concerned for every boater who seems to be slapping lithium and solar and large alternators in their boats. Sure, Lithium battery in and of itself may be safer than years past but they still require sophisticated electronics to manage so much, I suspect these electronics can be mal-installed or stop working properly...?

Yes. The company that supplied the lithium batteries and technology for the San Lorenzo SX88 features this very boat on its website.

Well, I don’t think “Pay More - Get Less” green energy test marketing was a success. So they’re stuck with having to make stuff up.

I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t know what you’re looking at. Pascal included the link in his post above. There’s a photo of the boat at the top and the rest of the details are there big as life.

When I referred to “this very boat” I was referring to this very boat model in answer Pascal’s question if San Lorenzo used lithium batteries.

I answered you above. Did you read my reply? I’m not going to argue which shade of blue the sky is.

…lol, you figure it out. I’m not going down your rabbit hole.

Lithium Ion batteries are inherently dangerous and will combust if overcharged, damaged by puncture, crushed or exposed to extremely high temperatures above 180 degrees. Lithium Ion performance degrades drastically under 32 degrees f and over 130 degrees f. and cannot be charged after reaching those temp points.
The new Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries will not combust by any of the above means and are 100% safer and have been in the marine marketplace for about 1 year now & the advantage for any lithium battery will be 50 % weight reduction over AGM. Lithium has a 80-90 % charge rate vs 50-60 % charge rate with AGM and the biggie here is charge cycles and warranties. Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries will give a charge cycle of 8,000 vs 700 - 1,000 cycles for AGM. LIPB warranties are 12 - 15 years whereas AGM are 2 years. LIPB's also have a much higher charging density so they don't discharge as quickly as AGM. BUT the cost factor for LIPB is three times that of an AGM but the LIPS will out last the AGM by 8-10 yrs. before replacement is needed. I would take Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries for less weight, Higher charge density , 8,000 charge cycles and 15 year warranty over an AGM system.

State side Dakota and LifePO4 are two of the players. Its kind of the wild west manufacturer wise between applications of auto, commercial land movers and marine with many different companies manufacturing. One other great aspect of LIPB is the number of cells fit into one size casings . You can have either 12v, 24v, 32v, 48 volt cells in one case @ different AH so that's a big advantage over series and parallel wiring on most banks.

We have LifePO4 on our AB. As Captholli says Lithium Ion have serious safety concerns but LIFB has moved well beyond those. Dakota and LifePO4 have been doing this for a while.

Lithium battery technology is rapidly moving forward and many proven technologies and companies.

LifePO4 is a type, Lithium (Li) Iron (Fe) Phosphate (PO4). Dakota is a brand. LIPB is Lithium Ion Polymer Battery.
