Re: Opinions on new LiFePO4 housebank install

Hermia II

Just a question on your bilge pump(s), is it connected to the house or start battery?
In the event of an emergency, seems to me this should run till all batteries are flat. Not much good to open the circut with 15% left in the bank when you need it.

Each parallel 24v battery pair is fused by a 150A fuse according to Victron recommendations.
The meaning of the third remark is not clear to me.
I did assume that the generator may cut in, which is not a good idea if the batteries are still connected to the generator. The BMS detected a fault.

Then your drawing is incomplete.

“Generator Breaker In Closet" Do you mean a Circuit breaker or a switch?
