Small Boat Power

My article on adding electric power on your small boat is now published in Small Craft Advisor, Sep/Oct 2021, No. 131. I used a couple of low-cost sealed lead-acid batteries -- and a small solar module for on-water charging -- to power my GPS/depth gauge, run a fan during humid nights at anchor, and charge my other stuff.

My column in the next SCA issue will continue this thread with a discussion of "drop-in" lithium-ion-iron-phosphate batteries that can upgrade and even simplify the system.
