A marine battery switch controls electrical power between multiple batteries on a boat. It connects or disconnects batteries in parallel or series configurations. This allows users to power various systems or charge batteries readily. Proper use improves safety and aids in effective battery management. This device allows users to control multiple battery banks efficiently. By … Read more

Lithium-ion batteries work by moving lithium ions (Li+) between the anode (negative electrode) and cathode (positive electrode) using an electrolyte. During charging, ions move to the anode, which stores energy. During discharge, the ions flow back to the cathode, producing electrical energy through electron flow. During charging, the process reverses. Lithium ions travel back to … Read more
