Hi,
I’m in the process of upgrading the 12V DC system in my small sailboat and would like feedback and suggestions on the initial system design. I have some experience in (successfully) designing and wiring simple 12V systems but I’m new to systems with lithium batteries.
Here is my initial design draft for the charging setup:
For the sake of simplicity, I have left out some things, such as the starter motor and engine control panel wiring. Also, I’m planning on doing this on a budget and thus I’m trying to use as much of the existing system as possible (e.g. solar charge controller, Orion-Tr Smart, and inverter). The current AC charger does not support lithium batteries.
I would mainly like to know if this setup will work or is there something fundamental wrong with it. However, all suggestions and comments are welcome!
Thanks for the help!
