Battery revolution By Nigel Calder Feb 28, 2011 12:00 am Ever since electricity has been put on boats, in one way or another batteries have held back the development of effective DC and AC systems. As a result, in general our electrical systems perform poorly and often astonishingly inefficiently (I'll quantify this in a future article).
Luckily for the boating world, in its quest for hybrid and electric vehicles the car industry has run into many of the same obstacles that have bedeviled us for decades. Unlike the boating world, the automotive world has the resources to crack these problems. We are seeing the emergence of several new battery technologies that promise to turn marine electrical systems' design upside down.
