Choose A Location




The nice thing about LFP banks is their weight and size are both smaller and lighter than a comparable lead acid bank. Due to these differences in weight and size I was able to relocate the entire bank to a nice dry and higher area of the vessel. I reconfigured a storage area to take the battery bank and it fit like a glove.


Take the time to reconsider where your bank will be and don't just place it where the lead acid batteries were because there may be better alternatives.


Consider the following when choosing a location for a new LFP bank:


Weight Distribution

Moisture & Humidity

Corrosion Potential

Not In An Engine Space

Heat and Cold Potential

Access


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Did you fabricate the housing? If so do you have parts/supplier list for the raw material?
