3 Ways to Wire Off-Grid Batteries (Add Lithium to your System)
May 27, 2023 by Emily & Clark's Adventure | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:56 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Today Clark discusses how to wire up a multi-bank / hybrid battery system for off-grid use. This is a question that comes up a lot for people who are installing a BankManager™ Battery Bank Management Device, but it should prove helpful to anyone setting up an off-grid battery-based power system.
We start with a simple one-bank system [01:27] ,
…then grow it into a hybrid LiFePO4/lead system [05:35] ,
…then then add a dedicated, protected lead starter bank [14:27].
