I'm building a complete Lithium Battery System as a demo to take to the Annapolis Boat Show. As I build the system I will be writing about it in this blog post. So check back again as this post will change from day to day. The entire installation will be online on the Victron VRM Portal and you will be able to check in and see the state of charge and useage statistics.......
