Cool, I think I'll move the wire size up to #6 to CMA . I found some marine grade breakers that should work at the boat store. They can surface mount.
To your point about mounting the breakers close to the power source, that would mean between the charging battery and the DC charger the first...
Thanks for all the great info. I plan to use #8 strand from the battery to the dcdc charger (it's a 20a), about 15'
Per the manual I found online:
30a breaker before the charger
25a breaker after the charger
#10 wiring from the charger to the house battery (about 8')
One thing I'd like to achieve from the install, is to charge the battery as I'm driving, but not when the vehicle is off. Would that be achievable from the battery, or better from the alternator?
You are correct, it's a lifepo4 12v battery
I run a diesel heater for my camp, and power it off a 100ah lipo battery. I would like to back the battery power up from my alternator, while the heater warms up(this is the most power consumption, like 100w) then when the glow pug is going, turn the truck off and use the battery only.
