Thanks for having this forum to help others. Noob here and need some
advice on EXISTING setup! I just bought 4 large
Marine Deep Cycle
batteries (12 volt ea) used from a
sail boat setup and i don't want to connect them to my existing bank of 8 (6 Volt deep cycle batts) all together! From what I read, don't mix old with new, one batt that is weak can drain them all down to it's level. I'm adding a new
battery bank separate from the first
battery bank using a
Marine Isolator switching from one to the other but
Solar Charging both banks at the same time or separately, from the
Solar Monitor! Or Going directly from the Solar
Monitor to the Marine switch and and manually switching from one batt bank to the other for
charging purposes. My setup: 1 battery bank of 8 (6 volt deep cycle batteries) which includes the 2 bay. Solar-monitor-battery bank-inverter! ON a RV, which I'm living in while building a house above it. My RV runs on 12 volts and my true sine wave
inverter is also 12 volts in. I wired up the 2nd bank of 12 volt Marine Deep Cycle batts in parallel and NOT sure how to tie them into the Marine Switch along with the Solar
Monitor and then out to the
Inverter. Do I need another switch for the Inverter! Thanks for any and all help with a DIAGRAM!
