About this wiring example
Use the diagram as a starting point for your installation. Replace the example equipment and cable lengths with your own, and check the connections against your exact model's instructions.
Cable sizes depend on the connected equipment, current and cable lengths. Add those details in Crimp to size each run.
Wiring diagram
How the LiFePO4 Smart 200Ah is wired.
Open this example in Crimp to use your own parts and cable lengths. Review the assumptions and installation notes as you adapt the circuit.
Build it out
Connect it to the rest of your system.
Add LiFePO4 Smart 12.8/200 to your diagram, then connect your batteries, chargers and loads. Crimp calculates cable sizes and checks the connections as you draw.
Every cable you draw there is sized against ABYC E-11, from the same tables as the reference on this page.
Technical reference
Specifications, terminals and supporting parts.
Check the model, ratings and connection points against your own unit before choosing installation hardware.

Method & provenance
Where the specifications and sizing come from.
Manufacturer specifications describe the equipment. Crimp calculates cable results from the circuit and assumptions you enter.
ABYC E-11
What Crimp worked out
Sized against ABYC E-11 — the US reference, and what Transport Canada accepts as an alternative to TP 1332 for pleasure craft under 24 m. The run length and the current above are what drive the result. Crimp doesn't know how warm your space gets; draw the cable inside an engine-bay zone on the canvas and it sizes for the heat.
