I have 1 X 12V 100w Renogy solar panels on top of my Truck with EpEver 20A MPPT Charge Controller
I have 1 Main Battery that starts my car 12V
I have 350 amp 12V Alternator
I have 4 X 12V 80 AH Batteries in Parallel in the Back of my GMC Envoy
That Run - Power a lot of stuff Laptop Computer, LED Off road lights, 6 x 12V Dash/360 cameras 24/7 recording CB, Ham, and some other stuff (( NO --->> Everything don't run at the same time ))
How do I make it so the Alternator Charges and Solar Panel Charges them 80 ah Batteries one way with out draining / touching my main Truck Battery
Main thing that stays on 24/7 is my security Camera system / Dash Cam - 360 Camera syatem 6 cameras total recording on 3 X 256 Micro SD Cards
At times I run these below in the evening
I get on my laptop at night using free public wifi
I chat on the CB/ Ham radios -
I often drain my Batteries getting caught up on the internet video watching youtube flixto.to CB/Ham chatting
Only to find I drained my Main Battery as well
NO -->> My 4 x 80ah batteries are not hooked to my main battery I only have 1 x 8 gauge wire going from Alternator to them and Grounded to the Frame
YES it is connected to the same wire that connects to my main battery. After 8+ hours internet - talking over the airway I go to start my truck My main battery is DEAD -- If I charge the Batteries - Disconnect the wire from alternator to my 4 x 80ah batteries 8+ hr later I go to start the truck it STARTS RIGHT UP and only my Backup 4 batteries are Drained
I often have to use the solar panel to charge up my main battery to get me started then I disconnect it and let the alternator charge all the batteries
I want to know how - to charge my 4 x 80ah Batteries ONE WAY and stops draining my main battery
I heard you can put splice the positive wire to alternator put something in between that only allows current to flow one way
and will not drain juice from the main battery the person I talked to said it could be done but did not know how it is done
he seen many in the Campervan community hooking up their batteries some how that way
What do I need to Buy
Where can I get it
Any diagrams how to hook it up I can download (( PDF )) file
Please and Thank you Jeff
