How often do batteries burn/fail versus diesel generators?

This talk will help people who are planning to build or convert a hybrid vessel but are concerned about safety issues to choose the correct type/application for their projects. It will present useful statistical data, analyze specific examples and finally find out what went wrong, why and how one can avoid battery failure. A cost analysis will also take place to find out how much it costs for the battery propulsion to be safe. Combining the speaker’s personal experience with the latest developments, the presentation will give attendees the knowledge to make the right choices.
