We ESCAPE back onto the canal in our tiny home | Our Narrowboat life
Hi again
It's us, Paul and Lindsay of Locks and landscapes bringing you our latest narrowboat video on our journey around the UK canal waterways on our canal boat.
As you all know we sold our house in London and bought a narrowboat to live off grid and continuous cruise on our Narrowboat INGA .
Join us here with some of the daily fun and giggles we have and some of the
struggles.
This week on our canal boat join us as we head out back onto the canal and continue our off grid lifestyle. We give our narrowboat lithium batteries their first test. Paul gives our narrowboat engine a service and our tiny home heads for Foxton locks.

    Hi Paul I know you sometimes you mention fishing I was wondering do you just fish of the barge or of the towpath. I had a holiday on a barge somewhere years ago and was told you can fish anyware if you are sat on the barge but to sit on the towpath you require permission of the fishing club that has the fishing rights 😊

I was also shocked to hear that you have never turned left on the canals before! You’ve missed so much; there’s a whole world of navigation awaiting you on the left 😋 Paul, your editing and musical choices are sublime on this one. That segment before you enter the tunnel was amazing. The segue into the music, and the cuts to the beats, was 👌🏼 Roll on the next :)

    This episode reminded us of when we were near Aynho, on the Oxford canal, many years ago. Our two sons were into Neighbours, the aerial (yes, it was that long ago!) needed adjusting . . . and you can guess what happened. He went right under, and it was extremely muddy, but somehow he managed to pull himself up and out. Our boys told every boat that passed what their dad had done! The canal in Winter is as wonderful as in the Summer, but different, you might want to change your gin to rum or scotch 😉 Thanks for the never disappointing vlogs, keep em coming!

    It would be good for others if you stated cost of the install, cost of the battery?? how you are charging from the engine as lifepo4 will pull everything your alternator can give until the bms cuts off the batteries, what protection is in place, have you a single alternator via a vsr or dc to dc charger??? certainly not sure you want to run the lifepo4 to 0%!!! Most suppliers state 80% SOC??

    • @locksandlandscapes
      @locksandlandscapes 22 дня назад

      Hi Tony thanks for the comment. The battries will indeed take everything you can throw at them in terms of charge, the kit contains an alternator control unit which monitors charge/ temps and modifies when needed, i think dc to dc is the outdated way to use litiums with an alternator. Of course you don't want to run the batteries down to 0% you would then have no power, the point is you can and the battries would not be harmed if you did, I'm not sure what you mean when you say state of charge 80%? the optimum?

      @philbrooke-little7082 18 дней назад

      @@locksandlandscapes Cell manufacturers state an increased cycle life if you only use 80% of the capacity. I tend to leave that at the bottom end by only taking down to 20% or 12.8v because it is actually quite difficult to control level of charge at the top end to anything short of almost completely full particularly where you have varying charge sources such as solar and you also need to go into the top level of charge for the balancer to work correctly. I imagine you have a BMS with an active balancer. The best value ones these days seem to be the JK ones. The lithium profile on the Victron solar controllers is actually not ideal as it holds the batteries at 14.2v for two hours when in fact a cut off after a few minutes is quite adequate and kinder to the batteries which would otherwise be being 'low voltage overcharged'. The damage this does is not immediately obvious but is more of a gradual degradation in capacity and it really gives very little extra capacity as, when they reach 14.2v the battery is very nearly full at the sort of charge rates you will be likely to be using.
