Screenshot 2025-05-21 at 9.34.24 PMBird Electrical specialises in Lithium battery installations.
Lithium batteries can change your boating fun. They weigh much less, have nearly twice the equivalent capacity, have 10 year warranty and charge much faster than previous chemistries.
Bird Electrical is committed to providing Lithium battery upgrades to vessels in accordance with the Australian and New Zealand standard, AS/NZS3004. The standard requires a visual and audio alarm at the helm if the batteries are about to switch off. We have been using Voltgo Lithium batteries which provide a cost effective replacement for old fashioned lead based batteries at a very similar price. Voltgo batteries have communications ports to communicate with Sieltec battery Monitoring systems providing the alarm facilities required for compliance with the Australian standard. As well as the helm alarm facility the battery monitoring system can provide relevant data on each battery in the battery bank, immediately identifying if one battery in the bank is underperforming.
Please speak opus about all of your battery needs including solar charging, the sensible capacity for your boat, insurance implications, remote monitoring and how to get the most out of your battery installation.
We can also provide generator autostart facilities so if the batteries do go flat for any reason you generator can automatically start and recharge them, switching off the generator when they are full. It basically means the battery system takes care of itself.
Our modern Lithium battery solutions now can be designed to accomodate the entire vessel load including air conditioning. Please let us design your system for maximum flexibility and a minimum of boating energy stress.
