In this video I describe my journey from lead acid, to lithium, to a Bluetti EB3A for powering my instruments and devices on my small sailboat.

My F-82R trimaran came with a Group 24 lead acid battery which was heavy and there was no battery monitor, so it was hard to tell how much power was going in, coming out, and how much there was left.
I upgraded to a LiFePO4 battery which had an internal BMS and optional monitor, which was excellent, but then I also had to upgrade my charging infrastructure, which was increasing the cost, weight, and complexity beyond where I wanted it.
I purchased a Bluietti AC50S after a storm that knocked out the power at my house for several days, which had a larger battery, but smaller inverter and also charged more slowly.
I started using that in my boat and was considering doing a video on that, when Bluetti offered to send their newer EB3A.
