Hello Forum
I need your help to install two Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30 between generator and lithium battery bank on my boat. This is to protect the generator from overheating, especially at low revs.
Engine is a Volvo Penta D2-55 with a standard alternator Mitsubishi 115A (A003TR0091ZT from 2015)
With shore power, charging current flows from the inverter via a WBL-160 Whisper Power Battery Link to first the starter battery, then to the lithium battery bank.
My question is, does the Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30 mount directly between the alternator and starter motor (X)? – or where is it most appropriate?
My challenge is that the current must be able to flow both ways across the Battery Link WBL-160 relay, depending on whether I charge the auxiliary battery (and primary battery) with a 230V External charger or charge the auxiliary batteries from the generator.
I cannot see how this necessary bi-directional function can be achieved (see diagram and description of Battery Link below).
Thanks in advance
Tom Holm
