    Adding 3rd battery, LiFePO4, to AGM dual battery setup

    Adding 3rd battery, LiFePO4, to AGM dual battery setup

    See existing solar/dual-batt/electrical rough layout in picture, with proposed addition in yellow shaded region (LiFePO4 system). Having MPPT in parallel with (1) dual-AGM (separated by diode) system and (2) DC-DC charger makes me wonder about conflicts. Will MPPT (being set to AGM profile)...

    SnoMaster Fridge/Freezer Review

All y'all others are just knock-offs...
