In einem Wohnmobilforum wurde vor mehr als zehn Jahren ein Lithium Batteriesystem als Ersatz fur die schweren Bleibatterien vorgestellt und damit den speicherhungrigen Wohnmobilfahrern naher gebracht. Viele Wohnmobilfahrer folgten diesen Gedanken und Vorschlagen.Die Vorteile sind bestechend: 50% Gewichtsersparnis bei doppelter Nettokapazitat und hoherer Entnahmestrom ohne Spannungseinbruche. Der geeignete Batteriespeicher um Kaffeemaschine, Fon, Induktionsherd besser zu versorgen und vielleicht auch noch die Pedelec-Akkus zu laden.In der ersten Generation waren es selbstgebaute Systeme mit den gelben Winston Zellen in einer Holzkiste, Balancermodule auf den Polen und ein Solid state Relay fur einen UVP/OVP Schutz.Damit sammelte man Erfahrungen und mit der zweiten Generation zog der Markt mit sogenannten Drop in Ersatz fur Bleiakku nach die man, zumindest laut Werbung, 1:1 gegen die alte Bleibatterie tauschen kann. In der dritten Generation kamen dann die blauen Becherzellen und Smart BMS mit integriertem Batteriecomputer und Smartphone App zum Einsatz. Aber sowohl fur den Eigenbau als auch fur die Drop in Systeme sollte man einige Dinge wissen.In diesem Kompendium fur Lithiumbatterien in Wohnmobilen mochte ich Ihnen diese Technologie und Aufrustung mit all ihren Vor- und Nachteilen erklaren und Sie damit vielleicht auch zum Selbstbau oder Austausch ihrer Bleibatterie anregen.Wenn Ihnen die Chemie zu viel ist starten Sie Ihre Informationsreise einfach ab dem Vergleich Lithium zu Blei.Viel Spa beim Lesen und gutes Gelingen!

Wahrend der Ackerschlepper sich in Europas Suden tapfer schlagt, ist es diesmal der Mensch, der an seine Grenzen stot - und die Gesundheit, die droht das groe Abenteuer scheitern zu lassen. Doch die dringend benotigte Rettung ist nur ein paar Alpenpasse entfernt.

My great grandfather and grandfather sailed the Horn, in steam and diesel, out of Liverpool. I was the first generation not to sail the Horn or fight a war.

The child in me could go even further and sail the waters of Coleridges albatross and enter the watercolours blue horizons of my first novel, and sit on Robinson Crusoes imaginary shore. I had imagined these places; they must exist. All I had to do was look for them.

Whiro is taken in a trip to find his primordial power. A divinity whom doesn´t know his place, whom doesn´t feel a part of the God or of the human world, in n mithological tale.
