I'm currently installing a solar panel on my boat, just to keep the main "starting" battery topped up, while the boat sits on its' mooring. But I'm considering incorporating the option to switch between the starting battery and the leisure battery. The solar panel has a regulator wired in, which shows, amongst other things, the state of the battery on charge. So, I was thinking of, rather than just wiring the panel to a single battery, to install a battery switch, as is used on any dual battery set up. This would allow me to switch between batteries, as required. The conventional battery switch set up, allows you to draw power FROM one or the other, or both batteries. I would just be reversing this, allowing power TO one or the other battery.
Does anybody see anything I'm missing? Any thoughts appreciated.
