Hunter 38 Lithium Ideas

[mpearce]

I have a 2005 Hunter 38…time to replace my 12v house bank that is currently 4 X 205Amph 6v Trojan batteries. I’m looking for advice on how to work lithium batteries into the mix. Do you have schematics of potential set ups available?
I’m wondering if/how the solenoid on the charging switch panel comes into play between the house and start battery banks. I’m aware that the alternator needs protection with a regulator and looking for practical solutions that others may have employed.

The solenoid/combiner is replaced by the Orion XS.

Watt Cycle is marketing some 100AHr that are nearly drop-in units. You will need proper charging capabilities to optimize their use. I just bought 3. They include the BMS and a Bluetooth interface at $175 per battery. I received a notice that they are promoting on sale the same battery without the Bluetooth connection for $159.
I have no connection to this resource.
