2417 (2013) Solar Conversion
Bought a 2013 2417 last year, used a few times, now adding solar and LiFePo4 batteries.
Starting with 4x100W (in series) de-mountable rigid panels, and building a system in an aluminum tongue box: Victron 50A 100V MPPT controller, 3x100Ah batteries and a 3000W pure sine inverter.
- In order to replace the AGM battery with the LiFePo4 bank (3x100Ah),
it looks like I need a DC-DC converter to charge the batteries while towing?(I'm thinking of using the Renogy DC-DC 30A unit)
When boon docking, I plan to plug the shore power cord into the 3000W pure sine inverter.
I do not plan to turn the 3000W inverter in except when running a microwave or other large load.
- Can I easily run 12-14V directly (fused) from the lithium batts directly to the fuse block of the power panel of the WF-8955?
- Can someone please explain how the auto-switch off of battery power occurs when shore power is connected?
- I'm thinking I will disconnect (or install a switch) to be able to shut off the original inverter from 12V inside the WF-8955.
Comments? Questions? etc?
Thank you!
