[Josh via CnC-List]

A 600A-Hr battery needs a chargers that appropriately sized.  You may find that 
you have difficulties completing the absorption phase if they are 
lead-acid/AGM.  You may also find that a typical float charge or float charger 
is not high enough current for a bank that large.  Not only should you not mix 
chemistries but also avoid mixing old and new cells.  There is nothing wrong 
with making one big bank but keeping the 1-2-ALL switch gives you options too.

Where north?  My power boat is in MX, my winter destination and my C&C 34 is in

My winterizing is opposite of most of you in the great white north. I put her 
on the hard with all canvas off including sails, put on my UC cover. Then head 
north to cooler weather and my summer boat.

I hope all of you are unfrozen and dug out!

I did a last-second winterizing job right before the front came through, now I 
get to un-winterize, change the oil, and hope it stays above freezing or get to 
do it again.

Also- this is a very good time to confirm that things are fused correctly.   
That would be one heck of a short circuit….

You don’t need 2 house banks. Go ahead and make one big one.

I live aboard 8 months a year, the other 4 months all electric power is turned 
off. The boat put away on the hard. I have 2 300 Ah house banks. They are both 
in use all the time. Charging is accomplished by 440 watts of solar, or the 
alternator.  My start battery is only charged by the alternator or battery 
charger on the rare occasions I'm plugged into shore power. The alternator 
charges all batteries via a battery isolator. There is no other connection 
between the house bank and start battery.
My question is why do I need 2 separate house banks? This thought all started 
while trying to figure out the best way to keep the start battery charged in 
the off season.
If I make one house bank, then I can use one of the old house bank battery 
switches to combine all batteries when needed.
