That’s what my friend was getting at, too. Thanks.

Matt — you want the house bank to be one big bank, rather than two smaller
ones; this will make management easier, and also help to keep you from
discharging either of the smaller banks beyond the 50% mark. And assuming you
have a reasonably powerful charger, you’ll make the best use of it, without
having to manage charging across several banks.

Fred:
I was not aware of your expertise (although your insightful comments
indicate specialized knowledge). Question for you:
I am planning to install the same DC switch on my 42 that I had installed
on my 34. It is a Blue Sea System switch that separates the starting battery
from the two house batteries, but allows for an emergency crossover. On my old
boat, the house batteries were also wired into the existing 1-2-all selector
switch so that I continued to the existing switch to control which house
battery was being used. A friend of mine recently expressed the view that the
house batteries should simply be tied in without the selector switch so that
they are both being used at the same time. What say you?
