Thanks for the reply. I don't really want something that I have to monitor and adjust. At the moment I am thinking that simply using two 12vDC-24vDC 70A in/35A out chargers in parallel from the 12v lead acid starter battery to the LifePo4 bank might just be the easiest and safest way to do...

I just had a look back at the REC and now remember some of my reasons for diregarding it. It only has passive balancing on the version needed for 24v systems and although I'm sure this works fine it seems very innefficient compared to active balancing. Also the communication is a bit clunky...

I'm planning the electrical system for a narrowboat that I will start the build of later this year. I plan to have a 24v LifePo4 domestic battery bank built from Eve cells (either 8x280Ah or 16x280Ah 2P8S - yet to be decided) with a JK BMS and I would be interested on any thoughts on my possible...
