Has any forum member accomplished a partial or full upgrade to lithium batteries? Starting battery, alternator, one or more house batteries, control modules, solar panel or windvane interface, inverter, monitor, etc.?
Over the years, I have had regular episodes of paranoia about not having enough energy, but everything I read seems to suggest that a conversion to lithium is much more complicated and maybe two to three times as expensive as simply swapping out batteries (which are not cheap either). That paranoia explains why my boat had a permanent list to starboard.
I'd be interested in hearing the war stories, with as much info about specs as someone might be willing to share.
