Electric Propulsion and Energy Supply
The Besla 1100 is equipped with two Fischer Panda shaft electric motors, each with 10 kW, totaling 30 hp per motor. Both motors are electrically started and have 250 operating hours each. The propulsion is supported by a 28 kW lithium battery pack, which can be fully charged in approximately 6 to 8 hours via a 16-amp shore power connection. Additionally, there is a Fischer Panda 15000i DC/DC generator on board, which runs on 100% HVO diesel and serves as a backup power source. The electrical installation is managed by three Victron Energy MultiPlus devices, which display all relevant information about energy consumption and battery status on a computer screen.
