Hi Jaron, this is Patrick here giving this another take.
Our first preliminary discussions went a bit sour but I am willing to give this another try as I must admit the requirements I had put forth were quite extensive.
I revised it all and I would say I am actually willing to more or less comply with crafting a "generic" solution based on what Batrium can do at the moment. No fancy wishes.
In the shopping cart Icurrently have:
- 2 X starter kits :WatchMon4 + 16 x BlockMon-M8 + SoC% sensor
- 2 XExpansion Board Upgrade Kit - WatchMon4 48V
- 1 X16x BlockMon M8 cell monitors with cables
** No more Complex Alternator to handle, no more redundancy and zero downtime if a cell dies, etc...
Topology is:
48v bank: 16s2p ->3.2v@240ah = 48v@480ah
12v bank: 4s2p ->3.2v@240ah = 12v@480ah
Each bank with it's own Victron ColorGX.
-You previously mentioned that somemarine specific enhancements has to be implemented - should I purchase and we deal with that after?
- YetIhave questions on a specific scenario, eg a cell fails say in the 48v bank:

- YetIhave questions on a specific scenario, eg a cell fails say in the 48v bank:
- Maybe Batrium sees the cell is dying on time -> Disconnects both the load and charge bus -> yes?
- or
- Somehow this is not detected on time and the string's fuse blows or the string's contactor is opened/the string is taken offline manually.
- Now we have a half bank still useable -> how does Batrium handle that?
- It is important I understand what to do, what can be done to restore power to the electric propulsion as this could be quite critical, eg run on only one string - (full manual override?)
