I'd like to expand upon Will's 400w Solar Package w/ Alternator Charging by adding a Victron IP65 12-Volt 15 amp AC to DC charger to the mix. The IP65 will only be used when connecting to 15 Amp shore power. The house batteries will be two SOK 100Ah LiFePo batteries connected in parallel.

My initial thought is to simply connect the IP65 directly to the main positive and negative battery terminals (with the appropriate ring connectors and fuse). Is this a good idea or is there a better way?

We're following Will's design fairly closely except we are leaving out the inverter. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
