Can anybody tell me where the BIRD is located in a 2024 Bay Star Sport? I'm having lithium house batteries installed along with a DC-DC charger and we need to disconnect the BIRD. If I understand how it works, it will become very confused with lithium house batteries and I'm afraid it will close the isolator relay due to the higher LiFePo voltage and drain the new house batteries trying to charge the FLA chassis battery.

We've looked under the hood but can't seem to find it. We haven't removed the engine air cleaner, but I can feel behind it and I'm 92.6% sure there's nothing on the firewall there. I've looked on the "ceiling" of the engine compartment and there's nothing near the work light that's mounted there.

Thanks in advance!
