afboundguy's 35 gallon and display fuge build!!!

Cool set up!, Been following. What brand battery is that? Or did you add the USB/volt meter? I want one now

It's a no-name Temu/AliExpress "150ah" but think it's really only 50ah. The voltage meter is an add on I bought off Amazon.

You can always go in series with the LiFePO4 and skip the 12v>24v to avoid drawing 2x as many amps and some losses to heat to make the voltage jump. One thing about these vs. lead acid, is they cannot handle very high current for long, though you're probably not drawing a lot with the pumps. The circuit will shut it off after a certain point and depending on the battery may or may not auto reset or need to be completely disconnected before reset. This makes them a lot safer and will instantly switch off if shorted out (Tested with a screw driver ) great for wet locations. I use 2 in series for a powerwheels 4 wheeler. They're great batteries, handle lots of abuse, lasts about an hour or more at full speed 2 kids on it.

I don't think I could double the voltage as the Kraken goes into 12V mode when power is lost and I am only running 35-40 watts for return pump and 18 watts for fuge return pump and if I add the skimmer it would be another 18 watts so the amperage isn't too bad at all. I do plan on adding another battery in parallel to get more amperage but I really don't need it to last too long as longest I'd be away is 8 hours before I could start the generator.
