I was looking at the manual for my recently purchased Victron BMV-712 battery monitor. In my boat, I have a 48v bank for the electric motor and a 12v house bank. I was thinking that I could use the BMV-712 to monitor both since it can do basic monitoring of a second battery bank. However, after...

This thread looks interesting. I just got a Growatt, and am doing some presswork for the install. It will probably be a couple of weeks before I can get to my boat and really do the install. I am interested to learn that there is a Raspberry Pi package that can track the data- I already have one...

The Electric Yacht motors do have regenerative capability. I have the predecessor of the QT 10, the 180ibl, installed in my 36' boat. I'm not sure what improvements they have made in the newer model, but mine does not start generating power until I'm sailing over 5 knots. At around 6 knots, I...

I plan to eventually upgrade to Lithium, but not before I have to. However, one thing I noticed was that the 300ah...

I'm in the process of adding solar to charge the 48v electric motor battery bank in my boat. The Growatt I ordered arrived today and was just reading through the Manual. One issue I've found with it is that the preset "Lithium" option appears to ONLY WORK WITH Growatt lithium batteries. There...
