I'm sure I'm replicating previous post. Apologies.
We're doing a full electrical overhaul on our Hans Christian 48 for her second around the world cruise. I'm basically gutting everything and replacing: Banks, solar, wind, chargers, genset, engine, controllers and all the fun stuff in between.
It appears instead of making my own bank, the packaged 100-200AH batteries like "SOK Batteries" and "LiTime" 12V 230Ah are rather affordable. Does anyone have a favorite? Battle-born still seems pricey. Since starting new and building a system to be completely off grid for 10+ days at a time. I'm curious what long cruisers like in this forum for their bank?
Any other long cruising factors and considerations are always welcome. As we will start packaging this system in the next couple weeks. We're young and former military, but this is a whole new world and we're aiming to move aboard as soon as the electrical refit is near complete in order to start sailing this summer. (I know it's optimistic) Other fun feedback appreciated. New to this forum as usual.
