588 as a world cruiser

Adding to this thread, I noticed that nobody had mentioned a Jordan series drogue.

I have two Mastervolt batteries for 10kWh on my 588. They have their own bms, and Mastervolt explained me how to modify the factory installed charger inverter. No issues after two years, it's a dream.....

I ended up replacing the 4x165AH that came with the boat with “super cycle” deep discharge batteries    While only 125AH each (to fit the same space) they have more accessible AH  A 200AH battery that drops to 11V when 50% SOC has only 100AH accessible     These carry 12V well under 50% so they actually have more accessible AH    I liked it so much I expanded the bank forward under the settee and now have 6 batteries.   I have 750W of solar on my bimini with 4 Victron controllers generating up to 50Amps into the batteries   

With the Mastervolt batteries I didn't have to change anything... Apart from the batteries...

Thought I’d chime in here.  Last year I went to lithium after my factory bank finally called it quits. I installed 1500 amp hours of lithium in parallel with 300 amp hours of AGM. The lithium will maintain 13 volts in use and thus keep the AGM topped off. The AGM provides backup should the BMS units cut out…the alternator will always see a load. Also the AGM has better high current discharge than lithium, so it will supplement at high demand. The BMS units on the my lithium bank are very versatile and bullet proof. Over current protect, overcharge cutoff, low voltage cutoff. My 180 Volvo alternator has no problem with them and the lithium bank is happy. The BMS with stop charging at 95 percent, at which time the AGM provides the load on the alternator. My AC chargers provide 200 amps and will go to 13.8 volts when the bank is charged. Again, charge current is cut off by the BMS anyway. The lithiums will take full charge current all the way to 95 percent making recharging a much faster process. They will provide 90 percent usable capacity, and they will show 13 volts steady until the very end. I didn’t change anything in the charging systems…just dropped them in. I researched the suppliers extensively and chose mine based on the BMS characteristics, company service, and the price was 1/3 of European brands. Yes, they are Chinese, but most cells used globally are made there anyway. I have almost endless power storage and can recharge at 350 amps per hour with engine and genny although my casual engine use is enough most of the time.
