Connect the shore power charger to house battery banks (one circuit for each or one charger for each).Ħ. Put a battery integrator or a relay between one house battery bank and the windlass battery.ĥ. Connect one house battery bank to each alternator.Ĥ. If you like, put a manual switch between the starting batteries in order to use the other battery as help in starting and to handle one alternator failure.ģ. If you like, use a battery integrator or a relay instead.Ģ. Starting batteries are always fully charged. Connect the starting batteries through a diode to the alternator (port to port). If you really want to keep all the battery banks you have, I would do something like the following.ġ. If for some reason you need to charge them, you can connect them to house batteries with a jump cable or a manual switch, which is also good to have, if you have problems starting with a starting battery. They will always be fully charged anyway, unless they are defective. If you just unite all batteries together during charging, they will all see the same voltage and charge well.įor shore power charging you can skip charging of starting batteries. This is not considered overcharging, but it is more than optimum, if engines are running for a very long time. The alternator will normally (with standard regulator) just give about 14.4 V (or as much as it can). This can be done using battery integrators or just simple relays. What are your goals? Why do you have two separate house battery banks? Why do you have two separate starting battery banks? Does windlass battery need to be electronically separated?Īt least during charging all battery banks can be united into one. Your systems seem quite complicated to me.
