I disagree. Although they might not be suitable for outboard engines with smaller less sophisticated alternators. But for inboard...

That you see voltage bounce around between 14-18 volts is concerning. That actually sounds like the battery had already gone into...

There are endless answers as to what can be done politically or by regulation. But you, personally, there is one thing that stands out...

They are mostly likely just fine as starter batteries. If you also use them for "house" loads, maybe/maybe not. The first consideration...

The Lithium with BMS is actually safer for powering devices that must always be on like bilge pumps. If the LFP battery is run down, the...

I have not every heard of a boat needing to be signed off by an ABYC inspector. I'm not sure such an inspector even exists. Most...

Before E-13 was released the discussions I read were using examples like an electric powered boat that suddenly lost propulsion in tight...

To truly alarm before the BMS disconnects requires a BMS that has that feature, and that will always only be on the more expensive BMS...

ABYC does not require such an alarm. You could have nothing and still be ABYC compliant. ABYC does has a recommendation for one, but...

Yes, I know that, but when you order a 120A BMS from a cheaper source, maybe you really get the 80A and never know unless you remove the...

200% might seem like a lot. But it's $50 on top of a battery bank that may cost thousands. And the risk is real. I bought "the same" JBD...

I think you are wrong in assuming it will be low cost. That is the main thing. The smart shunt is a very limited device. It doesn't even...

What brand batteries, and do you have a way to see the individual cell voltages? If you disconnect the 4 batteries, are they all charged...

It's a relay. With both N/O and N/C connections. In my other post, I said that you can connect the battery to the common terminal, and...

Just looked up the EC-AGS+. See page 13 of the manual, it supports a remote start/stop switch. Connect that to the relay on the...

But they must also have other controls, a remote start, a generator disable, etc. For sure, the Onan generators I have seen absolutely...

So there is no way to manually start the generator except by opening the panel on the side of the RV? There is no control panel inside...

Then use 2 resistors to make a voltage divider. I'm not that familiar with many generators, but don't most have a remote start...

Yes, it exists, more or less. The Victron BMV-712 (which is similar to the smart shunt but has a display) also has a relay output which...
