That’s what I’m doing. and I’m going to swap a couple of the loads around in the panel.

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...

They group them together because there is still the possibility (however slight it may be) of thermal runaway with LFP4, and the way you protect against it is similar Enough to other lithium batteries.

They are grouped together.

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

Its too bad these requirements can’t be shared with those of us not in the boat building or repair industry.

Do you have a link to the case?

I’ll take both if you still have them

Underwriters Labs gives you free access to their safety standards,

It’s ironic considering the second sentence in this letter from the ABYC president. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/letter-from-abyc-president-re-lifepo4-safety-on-boats.48022/

I tried searching “ABYC A-31 PDF” And it looks like I have to be a certified technician to get access to the standard.

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

Where do you see the mounting information? The manual that I’m looking at only Mentions mounting to a wall, and doesn’t discuss floor mounting. It also says to put the battery in a separate compartment? Can I not put both of these in the same location? I was trying to fit them both under the...

Could you give me some feedback on this setup. I currently have a boat with shore power and a generator. Shore power comes in as split phase with 30A on each phase. Each phase is switched individually. So, when I unplug or turn off the shore phase, one phase will drop out before the other...

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...
