Guys, I'm new here and need to learn a lot quickly. I'm helping a buddy with his boat setup.
Background:
* Marine sailboat application with 24v gear and old lead acid (4x115 a/hr I think) batteries. Victron multi plus, Victron 12v to 24v DC to DC charger from the Starter battery to the house bank. Victron 24v to 12v Dc convert to the 12V busbar. The boat has an old Solar array.
** I would also like add a Honda 2000w charger to help with off grid charging.
** I have 16 Grade A 100amp Calb cells to use to build a 24V battery.
** (Future project, to double the battery capacity again.)
So my question is should I build 2 packs of 8S cells and buy two Daly BMS's? Or is there a better way to do it?
