Is it okay to use the Blue Smart IP67 to charge the main starter battery (lead acid) and then hook the Orion-Tr Smart to the starter battery to charge x2 100ah lithium 12v in series?
Essentially use the Blue Smart IP67 to keep the lead acid 12v topped off and when it is topped off use that battery with the Blue Smart IP67 to feed the Orion-Tr Smart to charge the lithium 24v system?
Looking at this as an alternative option to my other post if there isn't a solution.
Victron did confirm today that this would work if I got the voltages dialed in correctly.
Does anyone have any experience with a setup like this? If so how do you have the chargers configured to kick on and off at the correct times?
The orion would be charging from the alternator ones the starter battery or voltage reaches a certain target, it has engine on detection as well, or can be controlled by a switch.
You can already play with ideas in demo mode in victron connect.
