I‘m working through an example of adding an inverter to my boat to run the ac overnight. Currently. I’m using a generator,but would like to avoid the constant hum of the Genset running overnight. Most nights the ac runs about 50% of the time and pulls about 11A . I would like to power this...

Is there a way to access ABYC standards as a DIYer?

Is there a 2 or 3 bank charger that can charge L.A. on one bank and lifepo4 on the 3rd bank?

Looking for a few ideas on how I should wire my inverter into my boats electrical system. The boat is powered from two 120V 30 A shore connectors that’s typically Line 1 and Line 2. Away from the dock, it’s powered by a 7.3kw 120V generator, and the transfer switches join L1 and L2 together in...

I’m looking at using one of these to power the AC in my boat, but I don’t have a lot of space to mount this and the necessary batteries. ive looked over the installation manual and I don’t see anything about mounting orientation, so I’m curious if they can be mounted horizontally instead of...

I want to setup a solar charging station for my golf cart. It runs off of 51.2v, 90Ah Lifepo4 batteries. I have purchased four 100W panels and a victron mppt 100/15 charger. At first I was thinking I would mount the panels to the roof of the golf cart, but we drive the thing on the road and I...

Installing a couple of lifepo4 batteries inside the main cabin, where I sleep. Are there any special ventilation requirements that I need to consider?

I’ve read the posts and have seen the concerns for using lifepo4 batteries to power a bow thruster. I have a smaller thruster that is rated at 200A cont. When I use it, it pulls my LA battery voltage down enough to stall the engine. My plan is to build a 12v pack out of 8 EVE 280AH cells...

Is there a comparison table of the more popular BMS options? I’m building a 12v, 280Ah pack and would like to have the following capabilities, in addition to the safety functions. - monitor battery SOC from phone. - put multiple packs in parallel, at least up to four - either high current...

If you were going to build a pack to power an inverter to supplement your generator, which voltage would you pick and why? current voltages on the boat are 120v and 12v. The boat is not currently set up with a house bank.
