Figure 9: System example for a boat or vehicle with a 24 V Li-ion system, a 24 V alternator and a 12V starter battery.
To charge the starter battery: use a DC-DC converter or a small battery charger connected to the Multi or Quattro.
Alternators which need DC voltage on the B+ output to start charging can be started by pushing the Start Assist push button
once the engine is running.
Note: the BMS is connected to the battery minus by the UTP cable between the BMS and the inverter/charger.
Therefore, in order to prevent ground loops, do not wire the BMS minus connector.
