After a couple of power outages last week, getting this done rose to the top of my priority list. :)
Curious about how others set up their battery system. Here's what mine looks like:
Tonight I'll run cables to my Ecotech devices upstairs, but the main build is ready to go.
Parts list :
- 100ah Lithium Phosphate Iron battery (a bit overboard, but I wanted it to scale for other tanks down the road)
- Battery Monitor with a Shunt
- Battery Charger (mine is a high-power charger, but it's extremely loud. I would make a different choice next time)
- Kill Switch
- Fuse Block
The charger takes 1 space on the fuse block leaving me with enough capacity for 11 devices total. I eventually plan on using this to power the Hydros Kraken for the DT, but for now, will run individual lines to the MP40s and Vectra w/the 24v accessory. The Kraken won't support charging w/Lithium batteries, but I won't need it anyway.
