Replanning the power supply for our sailboat to a lithium setup.
At first I had the plan to use the BMS CL 12-100 but now the new Orion XS is on the market.
The ignition connection in the Orion triggered me. As the BMS has as I assume does not have this function. This assumption is perhaps wrong.
It looks that the alternator port on the BMS is always on as long there are >13v in the starter battery. With the ignition connection on the Orion I can make sure the starter/alternator side is only providing power when the engine is actually running.
in this case I can se the ignition Connection I currenttly have on my cristec Battery isolator as an on of Switch for the BMS cl 12-100 so the alternator only works If engine is running. Like with Orion XS
So in short can I use the remote on the BMS also as an ignition connection? when connecting the ignition + and - wires
