If you move the ML ACR to the loads side of each
battery switch it will provide the ability to isolate a bad bank and use the other bank to do house and
engine starting in
manual parallel mode. With it on the
battery side you would need to remove a lug or fuse in order to
isolate a bad bank while at the same time allowing the other bank to do everything.
The ML ACR
can be used for this but is less than ideal because if you want
charging capabilities from say
solar, when you are not there, then you'd want it where you put it. In a bank failure, where it is now, provides less flexibility and isolating ability of banks....
I generally prefer a simple on/off
emergency switch on the loads side of start & house then an ACR or Echo on the batt side....
