The original wiring of this boat has the bridge’s electronics on the engine’s starting bank.

The generator has its own starting battery and can charge either or both banks. But for now, these are totally separate systems. Battle Born BBGC3 Features: Included with each BBGC3: (1) GC3 Battle Born Battery Dimensions (L x W x H): 22.83 x 7.09 x 13.15 Weight: 80.8 lbs. Conventional wet cells support the boat’s heavy loads, and are charged by conventional means (alternator, shore power charger, etc.).įuture: A DC-DC charger will be considered if we find one is needed. Summary: 600 Watts of photo-voltaic panels feed 540 AH of storage to support daily living loads as a “House” bank. My BattleBorn GC3 270Ah battery is rated for 300amps. Even then, I dont see myself running the AC units on the battery. But the long-term plan is to wire in a 3000W inverter to the panel. They are the perfect match for our new solar panels, for when we are disconnected from shore power for days. The reason I ask is I will be temporarily using a 2000W inverter that will not be wired in to the panel and 2000W and 2/0 is overkill even for that. They should last 10-15 years, and come with a 10-year warranty. These Lithiums have a built-in BMS (battery management system) to ensure safe and long lasting operation.


Those types of very heavy loads are best kept separate from Lithium batteries, generally speaking.

The 3 year old 8D size flooded lead-acid battery is moved over and has a remote battery switch for it to help, when needed, the starboard bank of 3 Group 31 batteries which start the main engine, operate the bow thruster and windlass. Battleborn GC3 270 ah Batteries By Southbird401, Novemin Ollie Modifications Share Southbird401 Members 38 Posted NovemI was able to install 2 Battleborn GC3’s in the existing battery compartment. This ensures both batteries are leveraged and cycled equally. Positive comes off the lower battery, negative off the top. A piece of 3/4” plywood mounted atop the new bank enables me to make all the connections to the Inverter/Charger and the two Solar Controllers which bring 600 watts to this new house bank on a good sunny day.

The same size cables (from opposite ends of the bank) go to the charger/inverter thru a 250A Class T fuse (+) and a Smart Shunt (-). AWG 2/0 cables marry the two to form a new bank.
