Ive been thinking id like to convert over to lifepo4 for my 24v trolling motor in my fishing boat as the agms currently installed do not have the caoacity i need. Id like to keep the setup similar to my current setup which has a charger inside the battery box with protected ac outlet on the side that allows me to plug an extension cord in and charge it.
Ive been debating on how to go about doing the battery setup. Part of me wants to build a even 280ah setup, but i havent done enough research on a bms for it yet. Id like something that i can actually keep track of the power with my phone if possible.
I think my other option would be either getting some premade. Or possibly looking into a server rack battery.
I was looking to the overkillsolars 8s BMS 100a. Are there better options out there? Also, the charger should probably be at least ip66, there shouldnt be any water getting in, but its possible for some to leak in through the access door if i take a wave over the side.
In a nutshell, would love some recommendations on a charger, and bms, then possibly issues with diy cels.
