I considered using extrusions but I think for my application they are just too big and chunky. After looking at some other designs, I'm starting to formulate some plans for a DIY frame that should be easy to build if I can't find something off-the-shelf.
I also currently own an SOK 206Ah marine...
I badly want (need) a slim-type form factor battery for mounting behind the rear seat in my offroad truck. Most pre-built options on the market are questionable, and almost all are from Australia which poses shipping headaches due to the LFP. Is anyone aware of an off-the-shelf empty battery...
Selling a very gently used Victron Orion DC-DC charger. Used for about 3 weeks on a road trip and it works perfectly, I'm just going in a different direction for my house power setup. The only flaw is a small amount of chipping on the heatsink where the mounting bolts scraped away the black...
Wanted to come back and say thanks again to everyone who helped me out. Might do a write-up later if I get time. Anyways, here's a photo of the first revision - lots of last-minute design changes on my rear seat delete platform due to the size/dimensions not being what I thought, but...
Due to time constraints I ended up with an SOK 206Ah marine battery for now. Still interested if anyone knows of a "slimline" battery that is already built, or an empty case/shell to build my own without having to make an entire chassis. If not I'll just make one but it will take much longer...
Awesome thanks! And yeah there’s always room for revisions. I already see so many things wrong with my plan due to space constraints but it’s going in anyways because papa needs cold beer on the road trip. Next revision will be a massive improvement because I’m basically a caveman rubbing sticks...
This might be a really dumb question, but can I run the GND cable from the Orion-Tr to the negative bus bar, then run a cable from negative bus to chassis ground? As opposed to my drawing where I’m running two separate cables (and ultimately using the same chassis bolt for both anyways)?
Again...
