    Need a 96v off grid inverter. Great if it also had shore power charging.

    I would need 3 of these to reach 3kW . Intriguing though. Looking at it more. But at that point, I would likely just get a Stealth EV 3.3kW charger that also does 1kW 12v DC/DC conversion and takes 15,30amp 120 or 50amp 240 standard shore power. Much easier and robust part...

    Multiple 16s 48v Modules in parallel or 1 Massive 1200lb 6p16s Battery?

    Its a 96v Pack, Not 48v 32 280ah cells in series = 1 96v 280ah Battery. 3 of these Batteries in parallel would be 280ah * 3 = 840ah at 96v. Your math is correct for 48v. Which this is not. If I create 48v Packs, they would have to be in series to create 96v. Don't get to add the AH when...

    Need a 96v off grid inverter. Great if it also had shore power charging.

    Here is what they said Looks like not quite the right product. Truly need the ability to plug into standard Marine/RV 30amp 120v circuit. This is the deal breaker. This will be for a fully electric boat (Off Grid) that runs on a 85kWh 32s 96v LifePO4 Battery. Can the battery Charge setting...

    Multiple 16s 48v Modules in parallel or 1 Massive 1200lb 6p16s Battery?

    I am leaning heavily towards 6 16s 48v packs, each with its own BMS. or 3 32s 96v packs each with its own BMS. This way I never have to parallel at the cell level. I have read that parallel at cell level is better. but it creates lots of points of failure and I loose the ability to...

    Need a 96v off grid inverter. Great if it also had shore power charging.

    This product looks perfect. Perhaps too perfect. I sent them an email. We will see. Very limited info on the website or PDF. but it appears to have Inverter, Charger and even MMPT built in.... with monitoring LCD and breakers + more. Very unclear from documentation on what kind of shore...

    96v Solar Cabin Cruiser Project - Full Solar/Shore/Inverter/LifePO4 - Discussion and Progress

    Spot on. I will do extensive research before the actual box is ordered. General idea is there are options of pre fabricated boxes. It will for sure need to meet my criteria above. Good Call out to make sure I check all reviews first. Massive thanks.

    Battery Box - Discussion. This needs to be Robust Needs to be fire proof - IE metal Needs to be lockable. Needs to be able to Bolted to the Boat. Needs to be able to fit at the lowest part of the boat down the middle for stability. Initial research seems the battery box will be one of the...
