Greetings. I have an older motor home with two GC2 6v house batteries and separate engine starting battery.
Jacks and 5000w generator are started with house batteries.
That’s original equipment.
5 yrs ago I paralleled two more GC2’s in adjacent compartment, added 1100w excelltech inverter and 600w solar.
Works great very happy. BUTT!
Time to play with lifepo4.
I’m thinking….keep original two gc2 for starting jacks, generator and 12v accessories. Packing adjacent compartment with lifepo4 only for inverter 120v. Totally separate.
How to charge both banks??
Can I parallel two victron scc mppt to two separate battery types?? Or do I need two separate solar arrays??
In winter with furnace gc2’s may occasionally run low. Can I give them a boost with a B2B from the lifepo4. Or is that just for an alternator??
Thanks greatly appreciate any response I’m open to any ideas
