So I've got my 915Ah pack with OrionJr2 BMS sorted and working with my Cerbo GX, Quattro and MPPTs.
Once I finish my new hard bimini I'll get my 530w panels up. I'm still a little torn on either 2 or 3. At this point I just want to see the end of the tunnel!
As a bonus, I decided to upgrade my charging game. I picked up a Balmar 140A 28v alternator, a WS500 regulator and a serpentine belt upgrade for my Beta 50 engine.
My start and windlass batteries are AGM for now, but I'm adding a 30A 24/12 charger to maintain those. With the removal of the old alternator system, I can trivially update those to lifepo4.
Anyway, once my wallet stops crying it should be pretty cool. Given the size of my pack, I really wanted to be able to top it up on poor solar days.
