##Renogy is not the best but OK they are a ##dotcons so have lots of coupons and discounts https://renogycanada.refr.cc/default/u/hamish think this is 10% off, there should be more, it’s a one shop.

Could try a more “native” path of https://www.bimblesolar.com/ but not as simple, though good if doing the solar panels as well.

The batteries are simple: https://uk.renogy.com/core-12v-24v-48v-200ah-deep-cycle-lithium-iron-phosphate-battery This could be done in a quick simple solar only way, maybe using the current ##MPPT charge controller if it can be set for ##LiFePO4 or if the charge controller needs replacing we could try for a much more complex dual engine and solar path: https://uk.renogy.com/dcc50s-12v-50a-dc-dc-on-board-battery-charger-with-mppt-new-version I did try and implement this more complex path 2 years ago, and it did not work, but with 2 years of upgrades it likely works OK now.

Then is a simply wiring and testing process, a bit of time, am happy to assist for mate’s rates as it’s a good thing to document for ##DIY offgrid culture.

UPDATE:

##Bimble has come out with much cheaper batteries https://www.bimblesolar.com/batteries/12vbatts/Epever-12Vlifepo4-200Ah but no alternator engine charging path, so only the simple solar only path.

UPDATE:

The price of LiFePO4 has dropped so much that now it makes no sense to go for older technology need a new battery for my tender electric outboard, might try one of these https://aolithium.com/?ref=lifeboat anyone any experiences with the brand?

#Camouflage|d in this human body, I #bimble through my days. #Beam|s of sunlight warm my heart, infusing the #crevice|s, love the #incantation. And slowly, very slowly, joy #sneak|s back in.

Down for nocturnal escapades
at Ye Olde Oaken Pub
my amigo #Bimble Baggins
the younger bro
of that chick magnet Bilbo
was lip locked in the corner
with ye towne bimbo....

Catty wenches all hissed
and called her a ho
but all we boys know
she's just a friendly gal
who laughs at double standards

Sometimes u need to #bimble aimlessly, it's not a crime,
you know, to escape the mundane,
gain a new perspective,
refresh your mental batteries,
wipe the stupor from your eyes.
Your phone's not going anywhere. While we were entranced, AI* learned &is now ready to take over,
so go! Live & love while you still can

*AI= artificial intelligence

The watches and warnings expired. They breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, what's that, said the little ghost Belle. Just bumbling along. A bimble, a bumble, a bee!
