Re: [RE-wrenches] Charging multiple battery banks from one array

I've had good luck personally with the Blue Sea ACR. It's automatic and solenoid-based, so while there's some parasitic draw, there's essentially no voltage drop. (The "Sure Power Multi Battery Isolator" seems to be diode based.) They are also bidirectional. If you'd like, it sounds like you c

Hi All, I am adding solar to a boat, which is new for me. There are three batteries: one for each of two engines (both of which can also power DC loads), and a house battery connected to an inverter for AC loads on the boat. All three batteries are able to get charged from the two engine alternator

Wrenches, I have a client that wants to charge a 24v battery bank and a 48v bank with the same array. Different charge controllers, with some type of relay is what I was thinking, and using the controller's aux. 12v output for the relay control. The primary battery to be charged would be the 24v
