Hi from Australia

[Simi 60]

New here but not totally unfamiliar with the concept of solar any batteries but far from knowledgeable.

Have been cruising full time on the Queensland coast in a converted prawn trawler for 5 years now with a predominantly 240v boat powered by 2.5kw of solar, a midnite classic 150mppt, a victron multiplus 5000va/120 amp charger and 8 X 220 ah 12v AGM combined to 24v.
Also have a 7.5kw diesel Genset that gets used when required.

Batteries are on their way out so here to do my homework on a DIY LFP replacement

Take pity on me, be kind (-;

Best of luck - and if you are ever cruising past Adelaide and need a deck hand for a day or so let me know ?
