Ok this is a relatively long winded one but here goes.
I have three battery banks Domestic- 3x 120 amp, Engine start 1x 100 amp and Bowthruster/ windlass 1 x 100 amp. All are AGM
I have a separate 3 bank mains charger
I have a 2k inverter.
I use a no loss VSR set up to charge from the alternator (120 amp)
The charger and inverter are 10+ years old but everything still works OK
The biggest problem I have is that getting to the charger and/or inverter is a real pain. Even turning the inverter on requires moving stuff.
in these days of bluetooth or remote displays I’m starting to think I should renew the kit and have remote panels or apps to control it.
Space is limited- I had to shoehorn all that to get a safe installation
I would love to find a 3 bank charger/inverter ie one box or to somehow combine the alternator output in a box of tricks.
or another way to condense the system?
any thoughts?
thanks in advance
