![]() The question came up because some battery LiFePo4 makers, has a limitation of 4 units in parallel. I wonder if VIctron, or other third part, has implemented a diode bridge, like a rectifier bridge used in every power supply from AC to DC, but used for other different purpose: to isolate two big battery banks?. Or is there another solution that is even better? But shouldn't the problem with the hungry LiFePo4 occur there as well?Īre there good reasons why this is the better setup? Well, for me it means more work and more cost. What do you guys think, is this correct?Īn alternative could be to connect the starter battery directly to the alternator, and to charge the LiFePo4 and the bow thruster (LA) battery via two separate Orions from there. In other forums I've read that this solution might not work out, because the hungry LiFePo4 will draw all the current from the alternator with the Lead Acid batteries left with next to nothing. A great solution for me, because it's a minimal change in wiring. ![]() In order to protect the alternator from overheating I am planning to insert an Orion Tr Smart between the ArgoFET and the LiFePo4 battery. Now I want to replace the house bank by a LiFePo4 battery. I have three Lead Acid battery banks installed on my boat (house bank, starter battery, bow thruster battery) which are charged by the alternator (let's only focus on the alternator and ignore other chargers)Īll three battery banks shall be strictly separated which is done with an ArgoFET (B+ -> ArgoFET -> 3 Battery banks).
