Hi All,
I'm planning an alternator upgrade on my boat electrical system. The attached schema is my current setup. I have 1200 Ah Victron LifePo4 that is currently being charged by a stock Hitachi 70A alternator. This alternator delivers between 30A-40A with the engine running at cruise speed. The alternator also charges my 3 Yellowtop 75Ah 5.5. AGM's directly (1 is missing in the schema) using Cyrix CT's (2 total). When on shorepower, the Multiplus charges the LifePo3 housebank and a Cyrix LI-CT also charges the AGM's. I also have a Cerbo GX to monitor the setup.
I wish to upgrade the alternator on my engine to a Genmaax 250A with external regulator (this regulator can be integrated into Victron BMS-500/Cerbo GX). I'm thinking of making the following changes to this system:
- Replace alternator and install a direct feedline from alternator to the Lynx Distributor.
- Integrate the new alternator regulator with BMS-500/Cerbo-GX (not sure how, but specifics from vendor will follow)
- Replace the Cyrix LI-CT with an Orion XS 12/12-50A to charge the AGM's.
- Remove all the feedlines from the alternator to the AGM's.
Do you guys & girls think that this will work, or am I forgetting something?
Should I also make a automatic on/off connection between BMS-500 and Orion XS?
I hope I'm not missing anything but I just want to make sure that I do not mess-up a working system. Thanks for understanding and your help!
