Time is Now for Lithium Batteries on your Boat
Are you ready to consider Lithium-Iron-Phosphate batteries (LiFePO4) for your boat or RV? Do you want to make a long-term smart investment for cruising enjoyment, giving you one less thing to worry about – dead batteries or not enough battery power for your DC load, i.e. power hungry equipment on board like a microwave, air conditioning, or electric engine? Coastal Climate Control stocks the best option for you – RELiON, engineered here in the USA.
Micron Navigator is a unique and revolutionary antifouling that combines both water-based and copper-free technologies enabling optimum fouling control for all waters and boats. This technology delivers multi-seasonal protection via a lower concentration of active ingredients, achieving a more environmentally responsible antifouling without compromising premium protection as you explore your world.
