I watched the video several times. I think at the ~30min mark, he meant to say set the LiFePO4 max voltage and NOT nominal voltage. So instead of setting the max voltage to 12.4 which is what he programmed in the monitor, he should have set it to 3.65x4=14.6V. Does anyone else see it this way?

I do not disagree. This application is for my boat. I'm working with an ABYC certified installer that happens to be an electrical engineer. The rub is that I need to use UL components and use an ABYC certified technician for insurance reasons. He happens to have used this set up on another boat...

Sorry everyone. It looks like my post was redundant and late to the party. I had set up my reply and forgot to hit send. Only after hitting send did I learn about everyone else's posts. ughh...

I am still working to make sense about all of this. This is from the Victron website. Lynx Shunt VE.Can - A positive busbar with a space for a main system fuse and a negative busbar with a shunt for battery monitoring. It has VE.Can communication for monitoring and setup with a GX device...

I get this. I am focused on the lynx shunt not supporting more than an 800amp fuse. That to me is the bottleneck. Won't the fuse blow when you exceed the current rating of the fuse, in this case using the Victron fuse of 325 amps, or a Littelfuse @800amp. Yes, I understand. I am referring to...

Can someone explain the "Cutoff Current" setting. I'm trying to understand what is significant about "1 amp"?

I get that the total throughput can not exceed 1,000 amps, which may be a combination of, for example two 500 amp connections going into the lynx power in. Both sources = 500 amp each x 2 to give 1,000amps. But if the max fuse that one can find is 800 amp, per advice from Victron, then how is...

Check the initial posting in this thread.

Not the best answer...

If I did the maths correctly, here is how much capacity I can potentially cram into my battery compartment.

I'm speaking with one U.S.-based reseller that speaks very highly of the Fortune 100 cells for many of the same reasons that Will Prowse likes them. They sell a ton of them and have them in stock. I'm also chatting with another U.S.-based reseller that speaks very highly of the CALB 180 cells...
