A few weeks back we purchased 400 amp hours of lithium batteries from Rebel Batteries for our sailboat, and now we're sharing the lithium battery installation along with how we use them with an AGM cranking battery and a Orion DC-to-DC charger. We share the wiring schematics and the entire installation.
Hope you find this helpful!
There's a list of components down below.

Who Are We?
We're the Fosters, and we just sold our house and purchased a sailboat, Cadence, a Catalina 387. We're on a journey to minimize our life, learn to live on a sailboat, and sail away.

In 2019, Matt quit his public education career of 15 years, and went full-time building his own business. Olivia is ready to explore the world, and so am I...but first, we have to save up, learn about sailing, and figure out a way to leave land.

We're sharing this journey with you in hopes that it'll bring you a smile, provide something helpful, and maybe give a bit of inspiration to live life on your terms - to explore your world.

Join us as we take this journey into the unknown, and share some laughs along the way.
