totally correct there's tons of ways to do it from "old school" that people swear by,, all the way to current tech. Do what you'd like, but more data is always better than less data. Ill pay more for knowledge of what my system is doing any day

You TECHNICALLY need a number of things if you are going lithium Battery, Shore Power Charger, DC to DC Charger, MPPT (If yours doesn't do it, you would typically charge the house battery instead of the engine in this case), Class T fuse for battery connection, Battery monitor with low state of...

slight update got the 1200w of soar mounted Still need to add the second MPPT and run wiring for it. But the physical install is done and I'm happy with it. Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Untitled by Grant Wilson...

Its 3ea 200w custom panels that a company Roboteos makes that we sell. They are super light at less than 10lbs each and sunpowa cells so super effective. they are mounted to a prototype rack that is actually getting swapped out tomorrow for a final production version that can house 1200w...

Spent the weekend testing out all the electrical upgrades I recently installed on the boat—and let me tell you, it was amazing! Took a 4-hour cruise at 26 mph from Jacksonville to Silver Glen Springs along the St. Johns River. Conditions were chef's kiss perfect on the water, though it was...

The factory ranger wiring, while not as beautiful as a Viking, is pretty good functionally thankfully. I used 2/0 because lithionics specifically uses that as an inrush limiter for the inverter. Longer than 8ft you can do 4/0 but shorter than that it's a 2/0 requirement. That's why it's...

I used 4/0 with a 400a fuse as required by Victron. Its roughly 5 ft away from the battery compartment to the electrical panel of wire, so not too much at all. I actually need to swap it out for 2/0 for a while since I put a lithionics battery in there until the dakotas get in as they were...

I’m currently working on videos to track progress, but for this post, let’s focus on solar energy and my vision for its future! Living in Florida and wanting to run the air conditioning unit during the summer, I aim to generate as much power as possible at any given time. With that in mind...

Spent the first day with the R23 working on Phase One of our electrical overhaul. While I’m still waiting for my lithium batteries to arrive, I decided to tackle what is arguably the most labor-intensive portion of the upgrade: replacing the existing inverter and battery charger with a new...

I anticipate this will be a lengthy post with lots of numbers. I’ll document the process as I go, so you can decide if this is something you'd like to take on as well. Problem: 2022 R23 with AGM batteries, air conditioning and heat that only work on shore power, and a single solar panel...

Lets meet out on the water this weekend and chat!
