While I don’t have the knowledge to answer your questions Christof, I am very interested in your project. I have a 1976 36’ sailboat as well that will require a repower one day soon. I feel like cruising in the PNW is full of long passages without wind and so have thought the electric range is...

Just chiming in with my fantastic experience. I ordered EVE 304ah from Jenny at Docan in early November. They arrived on Monday - about 10 weeks. They did land in Canada over the holidays so I suspect it took a bit longer probably to unload and get to UPS. As others mentioned, Jenny was...

You mentioned two things that seem to be opposing and might need some clarity to help others give advice. 1. You don’t want to build your own batteries from cells. 2. You want to use a Daly BMS I’m a bit new around here (my system is designed, half purchased but not built), but my...

I'm a bit like you Svsagres, day job is in IT so have an interest in the integration. Now I'm second guessing my decisions! I've spent the last couple of days thinking about how for the price of the alternator (over $1000CAD) I could just invest that in solar now and not need the bigger alt...

Cool thanks Shinebox. I did mean the Multiplus and not the Quattro so the setup would be the same as yours. Found the Rec BMS manual... looks like I have some reading to do!

So a question to those of you with Rec BMS and Victron, how would you control Victron charging while away from the boat? When at the Marina, I expect the only draw to be the occasional slurp from the bilge. Perhaps a little more with things like the BMS, and when we get wifi and remote...

The plan was always to upgrade the alt - the 40 amp is not up to par, but I didn't want to go to the effort of doing the pulley upgrade for really high output. But, if I follow your recommendation, spend a little less on the alt - and allocate that towards a better regulator (wakespeed) then I...

Thanks BobR. I didn't come across that advice in my reading....Too late - batteries are shipped! That being said, it is good to understand this. I spent the morning reading Eric's articles, but the argument to me isn't iron clad. I agree as a cell becomes larger, it's internal weight increases...

Both you and Horsefly have chosen the Wakespeed regulator. Is the primary upgrade from a Balmar to allow communication with the BMS? I get in your case you're looking at a different Alternator.

Perhaps my comment was painted with too broad of a brush :) Yes I have read good things about their products generally and see a lot of happy customers. That's why I'm going with a bunch of Victron kit. I was specifically commenting as someone researching their product, and coming across a...

Firstly, I’ve spent the last several months reading through this site and learning more than I ever thought I would. So thank you to everyone who has put countless hours into sharing their knowledge. I'm really excited to get going on this project, including DIY Lithium battery (the only...
