The 12 volt D/C. electrical system is a hybrid of two Lithium batteries for the House, one AGM battery for the Yanmar engine and one lead acid sealed battery for the generator. A Magnum Battery Charger renews the Lithionics lithium batteries while at the dock. The Auxiliary power starter battery is charged by a DC to DC converter. The generator battery is charged by a separate dedicated battery charger . While underpower the lithium batteries are charged by an APS (American Power Systems) high output 360 Amp alternator that has been detuned to 240 Amps.

This system was designed by OceanPlanet Energy, a company founded by Bruce Schwab and his partner Nigel Calder.
