What battery does the alternator connect to? If your relay/contactor only senses one of them, it would be that one ;) Joe Coquina

I guess I should have asked if the house bank increased in voltage would it activate the ACR? My “ACR” is not made by Blue Sea, it’s made by Heart or Xantrex and I didn’t want to assume Blue Sea. Technically they are actually a contactor but they do call them a relay! (That’s why I prefer the Blue Sea ACR over the Xantrex Echo Charger, contactor vs relay.) Contactors are generally designed to carry higher amps than relays. 100 years ago I selected relays and built contactors to suit different voltages loads and custom applications. The solution will be simple but we need all the pertinent details. There are just too many reasons the starting battery could be at 90%.
