Re: Stus-List Automatic Charging Relay

The "switch" is a circuit breaker on the output side of the 1-ALL-2 switch. Turning of the key can cause destructive inductive kick to reverse bias the rectifying diodes in the alternator. Cheap low power alternators are more likely to experience diode destruction. You also get a bigger kick

Re: Stus-List Automatic Charging Relay

A followup on Josh’s post: 1. A couple of times I have accidentally turned the key switch off while the engine was running and my brain was elsewhere. I immediately turned it back on again. I have noticed any problems resulting from this, but I don’t know what the symptoms would be if I had

Re: Stus-List Automatic Charging Relay

The 1-All-2 typically is a make-before-break type switch so that the circuit will never see a alternator-diode-frying open circuit. That being said I understand it isn’t best practice as arcing occurs and degrades the switch same reason it’s best not to leave circuits turned on (e.g. cabin

Easy answer, disconnect the second bank from the charger. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Apr 5, 2016 8:39 PM, "John Pennie via CnC-List" wrote: > So while connecting batteries today i discovered, to my surprise, that > Paws has an automatic charging

Re: Stus-List Automatic Charging Relay

Thanks Gary. I get that and I suppose it certainly simplifies the wiring - you essentially have one bank for charging purposes. No opinion at this point although I do feel silly having spent the last year dutifully switching between 1-both -2. I assume it’s just a relay that connects the

Re: Stus-List Automatic Charging Relay

Hi John, I've had ACRs on my boats for the last 15 years and I think they are one of the best upgrades you can do. When I bought "Kaylarah" (formerly "High Maintenance",adding and ACR was one of my first upgrades. They are usually wired to charge the house bank first, then the start bank.

Stus-List Automatic Charging Relay

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
