Re: Battle Born LiFePO4 Battery Integration

Following Brett's comments in earlier posts I chose to separate the dissimilar batteries by moving to a manual switch instead of an isolator. In the two and a half years of our install, I have never had the need for alternator charging of house. In essence, the DUVAC set up is no longer used. The capability is there but not used to date. The 1180 Solar provides all the charging needed and if it falls short a quick genset run is sufficient. We have done that only two or three times in the last couple of years and only because of my skittish behavior when I see percentages in the high 50%. There is a bit of behavioral adjustment when you first switch over.
