The bearings on one of my alternators have spat the dummy and started to eat my pulley belts. I tried to have the bearings replaced here in Bali but have been told that the
alternator is also now defunct
which was probably the cause for the starter
battery for that
engine also defuncting (sic). I can't get a new
Yanmar compatible
alternator here, so will wait til
Singapore.
I have an
emergency cross over
battery switch between the two
batteries. Also voltage sensitive relays attached to both starter
batteries. Now that I have bought a new starter battery for the
engine that has no alternator, can I just keep the two starter batteries linked and use the other engine's alternator 75 amps to charge both starter batteries?
