Hello all. There has been a lot of chat on the lifepod batteries. This is my project. I have researched this extensively. I have utilized MTS in Maryland, a Victron dealer . I have also used signature solar for batteries, and Victron's information site.
My 8 -8d house bake is dead. I have been loosing batteries all season.
boat set up will be the following.
1 new independent led acid battery for starting each genset. total of 2 with dual bank charger for led acid. existing
1 24 volt battery bank for starting 2 main engines . Use of 2 new 8d led acid agm. existing
New house bank . EG4-LL Lithium Battery (V2) | 12V 400AH | Server Rack Battery Two 3 battery combinations in server rack with bus bars. This will give me 2400 ah of power total.
Victron Lynx distributor system utilizing the lyx shunt for communication from batteries to the system. new
Victron multiplus 120/3000/125 amp inverter charger programable for lifepod existing
Victron cerbo gx, for system communication existing
Victron 7" touch screen display new
Victron solar charger and solar panels. (Planned in for future install system will be able to accept seamlessly )
350 amp alternator existing with new wakespeed 500 charge controller fully compatible with the Victron system. with balmar alternator protect ( in case of a sudden bms shudown.)
First attachment is from the Victron website, Basic system Mirroring what I am doing.
Second attachment is the simplified version of what I have to do. Each battery represents a battery bank.
