A question about:
PHOENIX SMART IP43 Charger 12V / 30A / 3 outputs

Can I connect this 3-output charger to different types of batteries? e.g. AGM for start motor, AGM for bow thruster, LiFePO4 for service bank

I can't answer that for you with certainty. Lead acid based batteries, including your AGMs, have a different charging behavior than Li batteries. With this device, the setting of a characteristic curve applies to all 3 outputs. When mixing lead-acid based batteries and LiFePO4, you may be making a bad compromise where you set an optimal characteristic curve for your AGMs, but the LiFePO4 may not be fully charged. Also remember that the LiFePO4 has a different charging behavior and will absorb a large part of the charging current, so the AGMs will take longer to charge. You can try it out by setting the charging characteristic for the AGMs. If your LiFePO4 has integrated Bluetooth monitoring, you can see whether, within what time and to what extent the Li battery is being charged and whether cell balancing is also taking place. During the experiment, also pay attention to how long it takes to fully charge the AGMs. If you don't want to experiment, you can work with 2 separate chargers. A powerful one for the Li battery, whose output current may correspond to max. 50% of Li battery capacity and a charger for the AGMs, whose charging current should correspond to approx. 10% of the thruster battery.

A question about:
Hull Cleaner
Andre V.
on Feb 7, 2024
Will this item clean away red wine from fiberglass?
Answer:
Karen S. answered
on Feb 8, 2024
Hello Andre. It probably will, as Hull Cleaner removes tough stains including rust, grass and leaf stains and even dried fish blood. Unless the wine burnt in severely into the surface, I believe the product will remove the stain.
