Hi all,
I have a catamaran with 3 battery banks, one starter battery for each engine and one house bank of FLA batteries. Currently each alternator is wired to a large isolator with 2 input channels and three output channels. the three output channels go to each of the battery banks.
I am upgrading the house bank to Lithium Is it possible to avoid a lot of re-wiring to just disconnect the house bank from the isolator and add a DC-DC charger from the isolator to the house bank. This does mean i will only have one dc-dc charger and not two but it means it will receive power when either or both engines are running and also keeps the Alternators protected from the Lithium doing a dump when full as the alternators run to the isolator.
Thanks in advance
Joe
