So while connecting batteries today i discovered, to my surprise, that Paws has an automatic charging relay between the two battery banks. Yes, I’m still learning this boat. So as I understand it, once voltage hits 13.6 volts (or 13.0 for 2 minutes) the relay will automatically combine the two banks to share the changing source. Not sure how I feel about that.
On the plus side, I guess it’s great that I don’t have to worry about moving a battery selector switch while the engine is running. On the down side - How does a battery charger monitoring two banks handle this? I just seems it has to screw up the logic on the charger. Essentially there is no way to isolate charging? So if I know I only have limited time to charge and want to concentrate on one bank I have no choice? What I missing?
