DC/DC-converter install

To maximize the charging efficiency of the new LiFePO4 battery bank from the engine alternator, I integrated a Victron DC/DC converter. This converter channels the maximum available current into the battery, capping at 30 amps, which is the upper limit of the chosen converter. I can configure and monitor the converter using Bluetooth, but it's worth noting that VE.Direct is not compatible for this purpose.

The DC/DC-converter can be seen in the upper right corner.

Additionally, I incorporated compact fans and a bimetallic switch to manage their operation. These components are housed within a 3D-printed enclosure, effectively maintaining the converter's temperature at an optimal level.
