Thank you, smoothJoey. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Do you have a link to those 400Ah batteries? Thank you.

I'll have to check that out and maybe reach out to Daly to confirm that. Thanks for the heads up on this.

Hello. I've been digging thru the forum as well as Will's videos, but haven't found a clear description on how to properly size a BMS. I plan on replacing my existing Trojan T-105 lead acid (total 450AH) battery bank with a similar sized DIY lithium battery system. I'm looking to build out a...

Here's another article about it....https://energypost.eu/can-vanadium-flow-batteries-beat-li-ion-for-utility-scale-storage/

Thanks, I didn't realize there was a marine section. That'll be much more appropriate. Thank you.

I'm still dithering between Lithium and Carbon Foam AGM....depends on my funds in about 2 months ;-) (for my catamaran). This video is about battery types and use in the marine world, but does mention Carbon Foam AGM batteries a bit as they perform better than standard AGM, but not quite to...

Hello. I apologize for the long post, but I am a total beginner at this but have been reading and researching building a lithium system for a boat. I'll be retiring in a few years and my wife and I bought a boat in Mexico and I'm going to be upgrading her for us to move aboard in a couple of...

So would this Daly BMS work? I'm looking at one rated at 250 amps given my inverter/charger is a 1500 watts. Here's the URL but you need to click on the 250A 12V Com Port fan button to see the price... Thanks

Hello, are there any specific marine considerations that should be prioritized in a solar system build for a boat? I understand some marine basics, like not using wire nuts, and using heat shrink tubing instead of electricians tape, using type 3 strand wire instead of solid wire, and using...

Hello. I plan on adding solar to my boat and have some questions concerning the best way to get AC throughout my boat. She already has AC outlets that work fine when connected to shore power, but nothing when away from the dock. Once I build out my solar system, is there a way to connect an...

Much appears to be programmable, but I didn't see a low cell cutoff option. I'll have to read some more about this BMS before pulling the trigger. Do you have any BMS recommendations? I'm just looking for something simple :giggle:

I've calculated that I'd be using about 1200 watt hours a day under anchor....maybe more depending on how much my wife uses her kitchen appliances?. I've not calculated use by day or night, but under sail, I expect only 1000 watt hours per day. I currently have the 2 x 250w panels and room for...

Is there a spec sheet for the 300Ah battery? I've not been able to find one online at all. Thank you.

Thanks for that confirmation. I did figure that with over 10,000 watt hours, I'd be able to go for a week on the hook without worry:giggle:. Have you had a chance to review my info on the solar charge controllers, BMS, and the fuses? That's the part I'd like to make sure I'm sizing things...

Thanks. I'm aware of the all-in-one transfer chargers....saw the video on that.:) But I don't recall any details on an actual setup in an RV or boat in terms of how it's setup with the inverter powering an existing AC infrastructure. I'll do more digging and see what I can find out. Thanks...

Hello. I searched the forum but haven’t come up with a definitive answer. I am considering using two identical Victron solar charge controllers for my boats solar system, but need to know if the app can display both chargers performance data. Thank you.

Thank you!

Ok, a bit more digging found Will's video on the installation of a transfer box . I think this will answer all of my questions...start to watch it now:)
